Geocell Installation in Slope Erosion Control

Slope Protection System provides excellent protection for slopes against erosion through its designed expandable, strong, and cellular structure. It confines desired infill and resists downward migration of material due to hydraulic flows. The infill materials are based upon the requirement of projects. Topsoil is for well establish  Vegetation Systems; granular infill is for non-vegetation slopes; concrete is best for hard, durable protection for severe conditions.

1. Base Preparation

It is recommended to lying geotextile under the Geocell. It will not only protect the slope with filtration and drainage function but also help the plants strongly rooted. 

2.Deployment of  Geocell

Position the Geocell section along the slope direction. 

Anchor the upper edge of the Geocell to the top of the slope. The anchor trench shall be excavated according to the project designs. If necessary, pouring concrete can reduce the rivet distance in the trench. 

3. Infill material

The fill material should be selected to meet the project and earth properties. Fill the cells with a front-end loader or dump truck (caution: Excessive drop-height might hurt the cells. Drop-height<1m is suggested.)

Infill material should be about 2cm higher than the cells.

Finally to compact the Geocell system well in accordance with the designs. 

4. Vegetation

Vegetation system can prevent the topsoil from being eroded by the rain. Sowing various grass seeds to generate the vegetation system.
