Fabric Geocell is supplied as flat packed panels which are opened to form the honeycomb-like structure. These are positioned and pinned to the ground using fixing pins and filled with a suitable, permeable infill.
Fabric Geocell can be used on slopes up to 1:1 and is flexible enough to be formed around trees and other obstacles. Seeded topsoil is the most suitable fill for less-exposed slopes, with small shrubs offering improved protection, whilst a granular material offers the highest protection.
Another application of this produce is to provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional earth retention structures as it eliminates the potential for cracking, spalling, splintering and corrosion commonly seen in concrete, steel and timber systems. Also it can be installed in horizontal layers to create fascia or gravity walls.
As we explained in market sector sub pages it can be used to protect tree roots as well as to create permeable paving systems.
