Geocells


Geocells are 3-dimensional honeycomb structures to hold natural topsoil on slopes. This cellular containment establishes the revegetation of shrubs and grasses and has erosion control applications. Topsoil dressed into these soil cells provides the nutrient resource for vegetation establishment.


MacWeb®: 3-dimensional honeycomb structures, with various thicknesses and widths, made from a synthetic polymer material suitable for the containment of natural topsoil for revegetation and erosion control applications.
Armater®: a versatile, dependable and well-proven geocell that delivers effective erosion control. Designed primarily for stabilizing thick layers of soil on slopes, it has a unique honeycomb structure made from a highly permeable and tough geotextile that is easy to install and secure. The structure forms mini-cascades which reduce surface water run-off by decreasing flow velocity, and prevents the formation of erosion channels. The Armater® panel is usually filled with topsoil which allows seeding and growth of vegetation on surfaces that could otherwise not sustain grass or plants (eg. steep or rocky slopes).
Akobond: a natural cellular containment system designed to hold 150mm depth of soil on steep slopes up to 45 degrees, made from a woven coir fabric, that biodegrades over 3-5 years. It’s principally used to establish vegetation. Wooden pegs or steel rods are driven into the slope in a fixed pattern and bands of Akobond span between the pegs to form a series of cellular fences, perpendicular to the slope face. Akobond provides surface stabilisation to a depth of topsoil that would otherwise slump or wash off a slope face. Akobond will not structurally retain or reinforce a slope. If the slope is inherently unstable a retaining structure or soil reinforcement may be required.
