Geocells
3D cellular confinement system that is expanded on-site to form a honeycomb-like structure which can be filled a suitable permeable infill material for multiple applications.
Overview
Manufactured from permeable geotextile fabric, TERRAM Geocells are a cost effective solution with multiple applications, enabling reduced projects costs and lower environmental impact. TERRAM Geocells are widely used for soil stabilisation, erosion control, tree root protection, flood defense, load platforms and retaining walls.
Features, Benefits & Design
Features
- Using TERRAM Geocells for tree root protection ensures the roots beneath are protected from vehicle loads by confining the sub-base and stabilising the ground.
- Using TERRAM Geocells to control erosion ensures better resistance to the erosive effects of wind and water run-off.

- Manufactured from permeable geotextile, allowing water to flow freely between cells, and encouraging drainage and vegetation.
- Cost-effective solution that eliminates the potential for cracking, spalling, splintering and corrosion seen in conventional earth retention structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can TERRAM Geocells be used to form retaining walls?
Yes, TERRAM geocells can be used to form retaining structures although this is not an application area that we actively promote in the UK market due to historic lack of demand. Different grades of TERRAM Geocells can be manufactured specifically for retaining structure applications but are made to order and there is a minimum order quantity.
What are the benefits of a TERRAM non-woven geotextile Geocell vs HDPE strips?
TERRAM Geocells are much more flexible and easier to handle than cells made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) strips. TERRAM Geocell panels easily match the ground contours ensuring continuous erosion protection rather than bridging over depressions in the surface. The fully permeable fabric of TERRAM geocells ensures fill within the cells remain well drained reducing the risk of soil saturation & erosion. The non-woven geotextile material does not crack or split unlike stiff & brittle HDPE strips.
Are TERRAM Geocells permeable?
Yes, TERRAM Geocells are manufactured from 100% permeable nonwoven geotextile fabric allowing ground water to pass through the cell walls rather than cascading over or underneath causing soil erosion.
Can I staple Geocells together?
Geocells can be stapled together using heavy duty galvanised metal staples, UV stabilised nylon cable ties or steel u-bars. Minimum 3 staples per joint at 25mm spacings. Please refer to the Geocell erosion control SDI for further details.
How many pins are needed per SQM when fixing a Geocell panel?
The general rule of thumb is 10 No. pins per TERRAM Geocell panel on a flat surface (Tree Root Protection) and 90 No. pins per panel on a slope (erosion control) however site specific conditions may require more or less.
