Geocellløsninger

Geocellløsninger, also known as geocell technology, refers to a three-dimensional cellular confinement system used in civil engineering and construction. Geocells are typically made from ultrasonically welded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) strips that form a honeycomb-like structure when expanded. This structure is designed to provide structural reinforcement and improved performance for various applications.

The primary function of geocells is to contain and compact granular fill material, such as soil, gravel, or sand. When filled, the geocell walls create a stiff, interconnected mattress that resists lateral spreading of the infill. This confinement significantly increases the load-bearing capacity and shear strength of the fill material.

Applications for geocellløsninger are diverse. They are widely used in road construction and pavement stabilization to reduce rutting and extend the service life of unpaved and paved roads. In railway engineering, geocells help to stabilize ballast and subgrade, improving track stability and reducing maintenance. They are also employed in slope protection and erosion control, as the cellular structure can effectively anchor vegetation and resist soil erosion. Furthermore, geocells find use in retaining walls, bridge abutments, and even in green infrastructure projects for stormwater management. The benefits of using geocellløsninger include reduced material usage, improved structural integrity, and enhanced durability of engineered systems.
