Application Overview
Erosion Control

Many variables affect the installation and performance of the cellular confinement system, including slope grade, subsurface stability, infill material, rainfall and artificial watering conditions, hydraulic characteristics of ground water flow and subbase anchoring quality. Due to the large number of factors, it is difficult to apply exact parameters to individual applications without depending on engineering, design and environmental inputs of onsite professionals.

THREE BASIC FORMS OF EROSION CONTROL PROTECTION

GRANULAR

VEGETATION

CONCRETE
  • Reduces hydraulic energy, limiting forces within cells or under cells
  • Directs flow at the surface of the cell, eliminating flanking and undercutting
  • Controls individual particle movement caused by gravity and water flow
  • Results in flexible and durable system
    		•
  • Reduces hydraulic energy, limiting forces within cells or under cells
  • Increases natural resistance and protects root system
  • Directs water flow over the top, rather than through the mat
  • Prevents gutting and rills
  • Helps reduce moisture loss
    		•
  • Controls piping and undercutting by allowing cells to conform to subgrade
  • Acts as a series of expansion joints, providing a flexible form,
  • Develops vent structures where needed
  • Provides stability for steep slopes and continuous flow channels
    		•

    This makes the geocell an excellent choice for use in steep slopes and channels where erosion from the elements is a major concern.
