--- title: "Ocean Geocell and 200 GSM Geotextile Supplied to Ceigall India in Ahmedabad, Gujarat" date: 2026-11-09 author: "Sales Team" url: https://oceangeosynthetics.com/geocell-geotextile-ceigall-ahmedabad/ --- November 9, 2026 | [Case Studies](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/category/case-studies/), [Geocell](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/category/geocell/), [Geotextile](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/category/geotextile/) # Ocean Geocell and 200 GSM Geotextile Supplied to Ceigall India in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Ocean Non Wovens supplied 15,000 sq m of [Ocean Geocell](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/geocells/) and 15,000 sq m of [Ocean Geotextile 200 GSM](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/geotextile-manufacturers/) to Ceigall India Ltd in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Matching quantities of geocell and geotextile usually mean the two are installed as one system, with the geotextile laid first as a separator and the geocell expanded on top. This page explains how that pairing works and where it is typically used on highway and infrastructure jobs. ## Project snapshot | Parameter | Details | | --- | --- | | Client | Ceigall India Ltd | | Location | Ahmedabad, Gujarat | | Products supplied | Ocean Geocell (15,000 sq m); Ocean Geotextile 200 GSM (15,000 sq m) | | Supplied by | Ocean Non Wovens | ## The client and the kind of work Ceigall India is an infrastructure construction company whose order book is built mainly on highways, flyovers, bridges and expressways, delivered under EPC and hybrid annuity contracts. Work of that kind, covered on our [roads and highways](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/suitable_sectors/road-highway/) sector page, runs into the same ground problems again and again: embankment slopes that gully in the first monsoon, weak subgrade under service roads and diversions, and drains whose beds scour out. ## How geocell and geotextile work together A geocell is a three-dimensional honeycomb of HDPE strips, welded at set intervals. It arrives collapsed, is pulled open on site, filled with soil, aggregate or concrete and compacted. When load presses on the infill, the cell walls and neighbouring cells resist the sideways push, so the infill keeps its density and the filled mattress acts like a semi-rigid slab that spreads load. The geotextile underneath does a separate job: - **Separation:** it stops infill from being pressed into a soft or fine subgrade, and stops subgrade fines from pumping up into the infill. - **Filtration:** water drains down through the fabric while soil particles stay in place. - **Erosion protection:** on slopes and channel beds, it keeps the soil below the cells from washing out through the cell bottoms. Without the fabric, a geocell layer over fine soil slowly loses its infill into the ground below, or loses the ground below through the cells. ## Where this combination is typically used On highway projects, geocell over a 200 GSM geotextile is commonly used for: 1. **Embankment and cut slope protection.** Topsoil-filled cells hold soil on the slope while grass establishes. Our [erosion control solutions](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/solution/erosion-control/) page covers these systems. 2. **Base reinforcement over weak subgrade.** Aggregate-filled cells under service roads, diversions and approaches reduce the granular thickness needed. IRC:SP:59-2019 covers the use of geocells in road pavements. 3. **Drain and channel lining.** Concrete- or stone-filled cells line open drains and outfalls. 4. **Shoulders and medians.** Cells keep unpaved shoulders from rutting and edge drop-offs from forming. Ocean geocells have been used on comparable road work, including the [Vadodara-KLM Expressway in Gujarat](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/road-durability-boosted-on-vadodara-klm-expressway/) and [road strengthening in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/road-infrastructure-chittoor-geo-cells/). ## Choosing the geocell and the geotextile Ocean makes five cell sizes, from 330 mm to 712 mm weld spacing, in depths from 75 mm to 300 mm. As a rule: | Use | Typical cell | Typical depth | | --- | --- | --- | | Slope protection, light traffic | Large cells (445–712 mm weld spacing) | 75–100 mm | | Channel lining | Medium cells | 100–150 mm | | Load support, base reinforcement | Small cells (330–356 mm weld spacing) | 100–200 mm | The 200 GSM geotextile is a middle-weight separator. From Ocean’s published data: | Property (test method) | 200 GSM PP | 200 GSM PET | | --- | --- | --- | | Thickness at 2 kPa (ASTM D5199) | 1.2 mm | 1.1 mm | | Wide-width tensile (ASTM D4595) | 12 kN/m | 6 kN/m | | CBR puncture (ASTM D6241) | 2,100 N | 1,100 N | | Apparent opening size (ASTM D4751) | 80 microns | 90 microns | Ocean makes the 200 GSM grade in both PP and PET. Under geocells on a slope or road base, the fabric sees angular infill dropped onto it, so the puncture figure is the one to check. ## Installation sequence 1. Trim and compact the subgrade or slope face. 2. Lay the geotextile with 300 mm overlaps, running down the slope on embankments. 3. Expand each geocell section fully to its rated size and anchor it with stakes, at closer spacing on slopes and at the crest. 4. Staple or tie adjacent sections so they act as one mattress. 5. Fill from the top of a slope downward, overfill slightly and compact, keeping plant off unfilled cells. 6. Seed or turf topsoil-filled cells early in the season. Ahmedabad’s monsoon brings heavy bursts of rain between June and September, so slopes filled and seeded a few weeks before the rains are more likely to root before the first heavy storms. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why lay a geotextile under geocells? It separates the infill from the subgrade, lets water drain, and stops fine soil from washing out through the open bottoms of the cells. ### Which geocell size is used for slope protection? Large cells, around 445–712 mm weld spacing, at 75–100 mm depth, filled with topsoil and vegetated. ### Does IRC cover geocells in roads? Yes. IRC:SP:59-2019 covers the use of geosynthetics, including geocells, in road pavements. ## Ocean Non Wovens Ocean Non Wovens manufactures HDPE geocells, PP and PET geotextiles, geogrids and erosion control mats for highway and infrastructure contractors across India.
