HDPE geocell slope protection product is a three-dimensional cell structure formed by high-strength ultrasonic welding of HDPE sheets. The HDPE geocell is stretched into a mesh during construction and expanded into a honeycomb three-dimensional grid and it is stretchable and foldable for transportation. HDPE geocell slope protection product is filled with loose materials such as soil, gravel, and concrete to form a structure with strong lateral restrictions and large rigidity. HDPE geocell slope protection product is the ideal and affordable material provides anchoring resistance to sliding forces within slopes. This geocell slope protection product is fast and easy to deploy using small equipment for difficult access areas, limits materials needed and creates no spoils.

- Application: Slope protection
Issue
For the most part on the earth, soil will stay quietly. However, there is the elevated risk of erosion on some places such as steep slopes, roadbed, and embankments. It is necessary to will stop the soil from washing away. This is because not only could this make the area that has been eroded barren, but it could also adversely affect water supply and introduce pollutants. Additionally, it could take decades to rebuild even the initial layer of topsoil, so it essential to have some insight on how to keep topsoil in place. HDPE geocell slope protection product is the ideal and cost-effective method to help prevent or stop erosion on steep slopes or embanks. Our Indonesian customer go and road construction project which runs across the hills. The slope on both sides of the road are steep. Rain erosion will cause natural disasters such as mudslides, soil erosion, etc. In order to solve this problem, the customer consulted with us about related products, and we recommended HDPE geocell slope protection product.
Solution
According to the characteristics and functions of the lattice structure of HDPE geocell products, the lattice reinforcement technology is particularly suitable for road side slopes or road landslides with steep slopes, uniform and solid slopes. However, it should be noted that different combinations of lattice structures and anchors should be used for slope protection for slopes with different stability. For example, when the slope is qualitatively good, but the front edge surface excavation instability appears to collapse, the mortar block stone lattice structure can be used to protect the slope and anchored with anchor rods; if the stability of the slope is poor, cast-in-situ reinforced concrete lattice structure can be used with anchor rods (cables) for reinforcement; and for landslides with poor stability and large sliding force, precast pre-stressed concrete lattice structures and pre-stressed anchor rods (cables) can be used for reinforcement. In the construction, first use sandy soil or clay with a smaller material diameter to level the base surface, and then lay the geomembrane. The geomembrane is not too tight. The anti-seepage geotextiles at both ends are buried in the soil and are corrugated, and then fine sand is used. Pave the soil or clay into a soil layer of about 10cm.
In order to solve this contradiction, the mulch film that cannot be operated continuously is rolled within the range of 1 to 1.5 m, and then the above-mentioned fine sand of 0.5 m or more is covered on the mulch film and marked on it. When connecting this part to the construction, please manually and splice the cover. Place the welding machine between the upper and lower film and the reverse welding. At the same time, the welding part is pressurized with rollers, and the welding speed is 0.8~1.0m/min.
And in the process of laying, control the slope, about 35 degrees to 45 degrees, to ensure the beauty of the slope and good drainage performance.
Grass, vegetables and shrubs are very effective at stopping soil erosion. This is primarily because plant roots tend to hold soil together, making it harder to erode. The leaves of the plants also help to reduce the velocity of raindrops falling on the ground, making it harder for them to dislodge the soil and erode it. In the HDPE geocell slope protection product installation process, the HDPE geocell can be filled with angular rock, concrete or vegetated soil. The geocell confines the infill material, creating a stable layer protecting the slope from erosion. HDPE geocell slope protection system is flexible that will stabilize or protect the subgrade of a slope, reducing preparation time. When filled with vegetated soil or rock, the system is permeable – reducing water runoff.
Benefits
- The function of the HDPE geocell is to distribute the remaining sliding force, earth pressure, and rock pressure of the slope to the anchor rod or anchor cable at the lattice structure point, and then transfer it to the stable ground through the anchor cable, so as to make the slope The slope body is in a stable condition under the action of the anchoring force supplied by the anchor rod or the anchor cable. Therefore, the cell itself is only a force-transmitting structure, and the reinforced anti-sliding force is provided by the anchor rod or cable at the point of the cell.
- In slope protection projects, the structural properties and gravity support capabilities of cement sashes are used in many plans, and there are also examples of using honeycombs in their structures, but they are probably the same from the perspective of the application. The purpose of application is of course that the cement structure has a large space and is easily corroded by wind and rain. The surface protection of honeycombs will deal with soil loss well.
- The HDPE geocell slope protection product can make the two ends of the road more beautiful and tidier, attracting a large number of tourists, you can plant grass on the slope, beautify the environment, reduce the city’s carbon dioxide emissions, and play a role in purifying the air.
- The unique, lightweight, flexible material conforms to surface variations to improve ease of installation while resisting impact damage.
