Geocells

Greenfix is the UK supplier of the Geoweb® tree root protection (TRP) system, which is the control measure for the Arboricultural Method Statement as outlined in BS 5837:2012, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and Arboricultural Practice Note 12 (APN12). Geoweb® is a 3D structure that provides strength to the porous infill material

The TERRAM Fabric Geocell system utilises a 3D geotextile honeycomb to control erosion caused by wind and water run-off and provide soil stabilisation across a wide variety of applications. The system confines the fill material (seeded topsoil or granular material) within a strong and flexible geocellular structure. This restricts down-slope

The GeoTrax GC 75/100/150/200 cellular confinement system is an expandable geocell grid made from 1.6mm perforated and textured HDPE, designed for load spreading and containment by confining infill materials such as sand, soil or gravel. Supplied flat-packed, it expands on site to form a honeycomb structure for ground stabilisation and erosion

There is a more productive, economical way to connect Geoweb sections, especially when site conditions, location and size make using staplers difficult or inefficient. Innovative Geoweb accessories and tools offer contractors substantial productivity and cost-savings on any size project. The high-strength Presto ATRA Clip gives contractors many

Greenfix offers, in partnership with Presto USA, a free, licensed Geoweb® MSE software package for designing Geoweb® geocell wall applications. The software creates vegetated and non-vegetated, mechanically stabilised earth designs, based on the Geoweb® system, for reinforced slopes, and for gravity and geogrid-reinforced walls. The software is

Geoweb® is a cellular confinement system made from virgin High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) for soil stabilisation, load support, tree root protection, retaining walls, slopes and channels, developed by Presto Geosystems® and manufactured in the USA. Cellular structure confines infill for improved soil stability. Compatible with aggregate, concrete

The Geoweb® Load Support system is a proven, cost-effective solution for challenging soil stability problems. In load support applications, Geoweb® can reduce the excavation and fill requirements by up to 50%. The system is easy to deploy for roads and tracks supporting heavy plant machinery and vehicles in difficult to access locations

Terram HDPE Geocells are a robust 3D cellular confinement system designed to improve soil stabilisation, erosion control, and increase load support. Terram HDPE Geocell are APN 12 compliant by UK Arboricultural Associations for tree root protection. Compared to traditional construction methods, Terram HDPE Geocells are a cost-effective and

The Geoweb® geocell slope and channel protection system stabilises and protects against sliding forces and erosive conditions of all types. It can be designed with appropriate infills to withstand even the highest water velocities in channel applications. Typical uses: vegetated and permeable embankments; stormwater basins and wastewater lagoons

The CORE TRP (tree root protection) system is a CE certified cellular confinement system that provides guaranteed protection for the roots of mature trees from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It distributes the weight of the traffic which in turn prevents subsoil compaction around the roots. With the correct fill material it is completely porous

Hycell is a cellular matrix of interconnecting polymer strips that form pockets to locate and strengthen the fill material. The polymer strips confine the filling material and significantly improve tensile strength to very effectively increase the shear resistance and cohesion of the fill. Tree Protection Hycell provides a flexible and permeable

Hy-Pave Dura is an interlocking cellular tile used to create permeable, reinforced grassed or gravel areas. Made from 100% recycled HDPE, the tiles have a low carbon footprint and are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Hy-Pave provides a solution to areas with displaced gravel or worn and rutted grass. It also provides source control of

A new container storage area was required as part of the Phase 3 redevelopment of the Port of Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands. The container area was to be constructed as an unbound pavement with a gravel surface and required stabilisation. Project consultants Arch Henderson decided that Geoweb® geocells presented the

The Borders Railway is the longest new domestic railway to be constructed in Britain for over 100 years. It will see four new stations built in Midlothian and three in the Scottish Borders and cut journey times between Tweedbank and Edinburgh to less than one hour from nearly two and a half hours currently. The area approaching the new Galashiels

Work has been completed by Balfour Beatty on a £16 million scheme to stabilise the cliff between Scarborough Spa and the Esplanade on Scarborough’s South Cliff. The South Cliff Slope Stabilisation Scheme involved piling along the rear of Scarborough’s Spa complex with almost horizontal drainage to address the deep seated failure of the slope, soil

A condition of planning approval for a care home extension was the protection of a mature oak tree from the effects of a 2 tonne piling rig crossing the RPA. The requirement was for there to be no detrimental compaction of the ground over the roots. Greenfix worked with the client and consultants to establish a cost effective temporary option

Greenfix was contacted by the community team at Westonbirt Arboretum who were designing and building a new community shelter within the Arboretum. Due to the location of the shelter deep within the Arboretum, the need for a tree root protection system was identified. Greenfix was able to donate the complete Geoweb® Tree Root Protection System

Large cell 75mm Geoweb and biodegradable Geojute 500 were successfully used in combination to retain the soil and new grass seed on a 45° sloped earth bund
