Geocell Cellular Confinement Systems (HDS)
Geocell Cellular Confinement Systems (also known as Cellular Filling Systems, Geocell Systems, HDS, or Cellular Confinement Technology) are three-dimensional, honeycomb-structured geosynthetic materials manufactured from high-performance polymeric alloys. They are produced with smooth or textured surfaces and used across a broad range of infrastructure, environmental, and landscape applications—from single-layer ground reinforcement and landslide prevention to multi-layer retaining walls and protective barrier systems.
The geometry of the Geocell System provides natural drainage and prevents infill materials from being displaced by hydraulic forces. When filled with soil, geocells also enable vegetation establishment on steep, rocky, or otherwise non-vegetative surfaces, making them one of the most effective solutions for slope stabilization and erosion control.
Geocell systems are manufactured in an accordion-folded format. When expanded, the structure forms a honeycomb-like cellular grid. Depending on the project’s needs, various types of geocells are produced with different cell heights, welding distances, and thicknesses.
Geocell heights range from 50 mm to 300 mm, selected according to site characteristics and intended performance. The cells are ultrasonically welded, with weld spacing options between 340 mm and 800 mm.
Roll Widths: 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, 5 m, 6 m
Roll Lengths: 50 m, 100 m, 150 m
Material Thickness Options: 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm
Cell infill materials vary depending on the function and load-bearing requirements of the project, including topsoil, concrete, sand, gravel, crushed stone, or similar aggregates.
