HDPE Geocells (Cellular Confinement)
Ultrasonically welded HDPE strips that expand into a honeycomb for slope protection, load support and erosion control. Cell depths 50–200 mm, weld spacing 330–445 mm.
- Minimum order
- Sampling from one panel set; project orders by the container.
- Lead time
- Confirmed per quotation.
Geocells confine infill — soil, sand, aggregate or concrete — inside a three-dimensional honeycomb. The confinement increases the stiffness of the layer, spreads load and holds material on slopes and channel banks.
Specification is mostly a combination of cell depth, weld spacing and strip thickness/surface. Deeper cells and closer welds give more confinement for weak subgrades and heavier traffic; perforated, textured strips improve drainage and friction with the infill.
The geosynthetics cluster around Tai’an in Shandong produces geocells at very large scale, which is why we treat this as a consolidation product: we qualify two to three factories, verify strip thickness and weld strength on samples, and ship collapsed panels with geotextile or anchors in the same container.

Frequently asked questions
Which cell depth do I need?
It depends on subgrade strength, traffic and slope. Designers commonly use 100–150 mm cells with closer weld spacing for heavy traffic on weak ground; your engineer should confirm.
Perforated or non-perforated?
Perforated strips improve drainage and interlock with granular infill; non-perforated strips are used where infill must be retained, for example in some channel linings.
Do you supply anchors and geotextile?
Yes, they can be consolidated in the same shipment.
