TERRAM Geocell has been used on a significant earthworks contract designed to help safeguard the local environment around the Milford Haven Oil Refinery in South West Wales.
As part of the remediation works, Quantum were required to install a geomembrane liner to make the embankment impermeable. To protect this liner from damage and degradation through exposure to UV radiation, a protective layer of vegetated top soil was specified. It was here that TERRAM were asked to help as there were few details as to how the top soil were to be held in position over the liner.
The solution was to supply a modified version of our TERRAM Geocell 25/15. As a lightweight textile material, Geocell is very user friendly and is supplied flat in panel form which is expanded on site to create a honeycomb structure suitable for infilling.
