Protection and reinforcement GeocellsGeocells provide cellular confinement for a range of projects, including car parks, slope reinforcement and the essential need to protect tree roots. They offer an ideal solution for erosion control on embankments and slopes, even steep ones, reducing the amount of materials needed to create stability and protection. ![]() Register your interest to attend our free CPD course Root Cause: Building Homes, Protecting Trees.

![]() BlogGeocells hold underestimated potential within modern constructionDesign engineers and contractors face increasing demands to use environmentally sustainable construction methods and materials. Adverse weather conditions, from storms and heavy rainfall to hotter, drier summers, can also have a huge impact on their projects. It’s a juggling act that has led to the growth in popularity of geocells. Projects that demand strong ground stabilisation techniques, reliable slope reinforcement and essential tree root protection can all benefit. Geocells provide cellular confinement for various types of material infill, offering a durable solution for erosion control on embankments and slopes, even steep ones, and reducing the number of materials needed to create stability and protection. ![]() Looking for tree root protection?ProtectaWeb prevents damage to tree rootsWhether you're building pathways, roads, car parks or lorry parks, ProtectaWeb provides reliable tree root protection in all types of soil, without any digging required. The system is simply placed on the existing ground, filled and finished with a porous surface. The cells are filled with a clean angular stone which allows drainage and aeration through the cells. Perforated cell walls provide drainage, minimising hydrostatic build up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to the tree roots, even when installed on a gradient. |
