Stabilization

Geosynthetics are extensively used as a civil engineering solution to reinforce unbound aggregate layers in highways, unpaved and paved roads, runways, railways, parking structures, and other trafficked surfaces. Utilizing geosynthetics for stabilization, separation, and confinement reduces total construction depth required and extends the lifespan of surfaces, positively impacting the projects Return on Investment (ROI) to meet economic and environmental standards.

TYPAR Geotextiles provide stability to granular base layers by providing particle separation between existing subsoils and engineered aggregate. Maintaining separation reduces losses up to 3” of granular materials into soft or unstable subsoils by stopping large and fine particles from mixing while allowing water to pass through the layers. TYPAR has over 40 years of documented performance in stabilization applications, ensuring that dynamic forces from vehicular traffic will not compromise the stability of the separated engineered subbase.

Geocells

Products

Geocell - Load Support | Geocell - Erosion and Sediment Control

Market Sectors

Highways and Roads | Coastal and Waterways | Grass and Ground | Mining and Landfill

Geocell applications include:

Base stabilization over poor soils
Permeable surfaces
Gravel Parking Structures
Stabilized drainage layer
No dig tree root protection
Permanent and temporary access roads and walkways

The TYPAR GEOCELL GS cellular confinement system utilizes the strength and permeability of a geotextile to create a 3-dimensional cellular confinement system. Manufactured from nonwoven geotextiles, the cell walls are permeable to water, air and nutrients, increasing stability and vegetative performance. The TYPAR GEOCELL GS system ships in compacted panel form and expands into a honeycomb formation to the desired shape and dimension on-site. The unique, lightweight, flexible material conforms to surface variations to improve ease of installation while resisting impact damage. A variety of infill materials, including native soils and recycled aggregates, may be used to reduce waste material and overall construction costs.

Load Support

TYPAR GEOCELL GS cells transfer downward forces laterally within the confined cells, reducing loads on underlying soils and the required sub-base depth. The cellular confinement system is an ideal solution for providing stabilization over poor soil conditions, reducing constructed profile depth and cost, protecting soil and roots from compaction, and providing site access for light, heavy, and industrial vehicles.
