Geo cell is a new type of geosynthetic material, which is made of high-density polyethylene strips and welded with ultrasonic waves. After expansion, it is grid-like, and each block contains several independent cells after expansion. The geo cells are filled with sand and gravel, and the reinforced cushion is formed after vibration compaction. Geo cell is a mesh-like cell structure formed by strong welding or riveting of high-strength HDE or PP copolymer broadband. It can expand and contract freely, can be folded when transported, and opened and filled with earth, stone or concrete when in use, forming a structure with strong lateral restraint and high rigidity. At present, geocell materials have been widely used in roads, railways, buildings and other fields, and the main functions are: drainage, anti-filtration, reinforcement, isolation, restraint and load reduction.
Why Chose Geo Cell Material Thailand for Mine Rcological Restoration
Chiang Mai, a northern city in Thailand, heavily relies on tourism as its main economic driver. However, on the outskirts of the city lies an abandoned mine site, spanning approximately 13,206.6 square meters. This site poses significant environmental and ecological challenges, as weathering has resulted in the formation of sand, which, when blown by the wind, creates dust and severely affects air quality in Chiang Mai. The abandoned mine also poses risks such as mudslides, landslides, and flash floods, endangering lives and property. Additionally, its unsightly appearance and location along the Xin’an River negatively impact the scenic beauty and tourism development. To address these issues, a Thai customer has sought the purchase of 13,500 square meters of geocells from GEOSINCERE Geosynthetics for mine rehabilitation.
Geo cell slope vegetation restoration technology
The geo cell slope vegetation restoration technology is to fix the geocell on the slope with lack of plant growth soil conditions and poor surface stability, then fill the cell with planting soil, and spread suitable mixed shrub and grass seeds for vegetation restoration. Surface greening technology.
Due to the disturbance of the landform, excavation of mountains or a large amount of filling during the mining process, different types of exposed slopes are formed, and the slope, slope length, soil, rock or rock quality, excavation or backfilling of each slope are different. Slope vegetation restoration of abandoned mine land is the difficulty and focus of vegetation restoration in mining areas.
Geocell is a three-dimensional cell formed by high-strength HDPE broadband and strong welding. When in use, it is opened and filled with earth, stone or concrete to form a structure with strong lateral restraint and high rigidity. There are various types of cell specifications. According to the site conditions of the slope, the GEOSINCERE team recommends the size of 4m × 5m to the customer, the cell depth is 15cm, and the width is 6cm.
Advantages of Geo Cell for Ecological Restoration
- It can effectively prevent and control the soil erosion of strongly weathered fossilized slopes and soil-rock mixed slopes.
- There are soil conditions required for plant growth in the geotechnical cell, and the vegetation restoration effect is remarkable.
- The geocell has good anti-stretching and anti-scour effects, and has good soil and water conservation functions.
The main Purpose of the Geocell Ecological Restoration
- Geo cell is used to stabilize road and railway subgrades.
- Geocell is used for the management of embankments and shallow water channels that bear the load.
- Hybrid retaining wall used to prevent landslides and load gravity.
- When encountering soft ground, the use of geocells can greatly reduce the labor intensity of construction, reduce the thickness of the roadbed, and the construction speed is fast, the performance is good, and the project cost is greatly reduced.
- For highways and first-class highways that traverse collapsible loess and loess sections with high compressibility, it becomes necessary to treat the subgrade to meet the required bearing capacity.
- Saline soil, expansive soil. The highways, first-class highways, road shoulders and slopes built with saline soil and expansive soil adopt reinforcement measures.
What are The Characteristics of Geocells
- It can be stretched freely, can be retracted for transportation, and can be stretched into a mesh during construction, filled with loose materials such as soil, gravel, concrete, etc., to form a structure with strong lateral restraint and high rigidity.
- The material is light, wear-resistant, chemically stable, resistant to light and oxygen aging, acid and alkali, and is suitable for soil conditions such as different soils and deserts.
- High lateral limit and anti-slip, anti-deformation, effectively enhance the bearing capacity of the roadbed and disperse the load.
- Changing the geometric dimensions of the honeycomb cell height, welding distance, etc. can meet different engineering needs.
- Flexible expansion and contraction, small transportation volume; convenient connection and fast construction speed.
