Build Green, Build Smart: Eco-friendly Solutions for Contractors and Builders!

Contractors and builders are under growing pressure to cut the environmental footprint of their projects while still meeting the engineering brief. Geosynthetics help with both: they let you build on weaker local soil, use less quarried aggregate and excavate less. Ocean Global manufactures and exports geocells, and this article covers how Ocean Non Wovens geocells and related products fit greener construction.

Embracing Sustainability with Geocell

Ocean Non Wovens Geocells and Geomembranes: Material and Recyclability

Ocean Non Wovens geocells and geomembranes are made from polyethylene, which can be recycled at the end of its life. The bigger environmental gain is in use: a geocell layer lets a road or platform be built with a thinner aggregate layer, and a geomembrane keeps water or contaminants where they belong.

Enhanced Soil Stabilization for Erosion Control

Erosion control matters most on projects in environmentally sensitive areas. Geocells stabilise soil on slopes and channel banks by confining topsoil or gravel in a three-dimensional honeycomb, so rain and runoff cannot wash it downhill. Perforated cell walls let water drain between cells, while the topsoil in each cell holds enough moisture for seeds and plants to establish.

Sustainable Infrastructure Development

Ocean Non Wovens geocells and geomembranes are used across road construction, slope protection and landfills. Geocells add stiffness to granular layers, which can reduce excavation and the amount of imported fill compared with conventional construction; geomembranes line landfills and ponds to protect groundwater. Using less material and haulage usually lowers cost as well as emissions.

Ocean Non Wovens Products for Greener Construction

Geocells: Cellular Soil Reinforcement

Geocells are one of Ocean Non Wovens’ main products. The interconnected cells confine the infill and stop it moving sideways under load, so the layer spreads wheel loads over a wider area of subgrade and improves slope stability. They are used on roads, railways and landscaping projects.

Ground Stabilization with HDPE Geocells

Ocean Non Wovens geocells are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). As a cellular confinement system they limit lateral movement of the infill, allow a thinner aggregate layer for the same load and raise the load-bearing capacity of the base. That means less material to quarry and haul and, often, a shorter construction time.

Beyond the Product: Support for Green Construction

Comprehensive Support and Expertise

Ocean Non Wovens’ engineers and technical staff work with contractors and builders on product selection, design and installation methods.

Sustainable Construction Certification Assistance

Green building ratings and environmental clearances often ask for product documentation. We help contractors and builders with the product information they need for the certification process and for compliance with the relevant standards and regulations.

Building Greener with Geocell

Using geocells and geomembranes where they fit the design can reduce aggregate use, excavation and haulage on a project while meeting its performance requirements.
