Innovative Soil Reinforcement Solution using StrataWeb® Geocell
When tackling challenging engineering problems like erosion control and soil reinforcement, MEGS GeoCell emerges as a game-changer. MEGS GeoCell, with its unique honeycomb structure, offers a flexible yet robust solution, securing soil and other materials. This innovative three-dimensional system is made of interconnected polymer strips, which are perfect for preventing erosion on steep slopes, supporting loads over weak soils, and effectively lining drainage channels and lagoons.
MEGS GeoCell is particularly effective in spreading loads, thereby improving the capacity of weak soil foundations. This makes it an ideal choice for projects involving roads and parking lots. Its design ensures these structures last longer with minimal maintenance required. Additionally, it keeps soil in place on steep slopes, thus reducing the effects of water runoff and maintaining drainage channels. Thanks to the use of locally available materials, MEGS GeoCell offers a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly approach to civil engineering challenges.
MEGS GeoCell is a ground-breaking solution for soil reinforcement and erosion control, specially engineered to tackle some of the most daunting engineering challenges. At the heart of this solution is its unique honeycomb-like structure, designed to efficiently manage soil and environmental conditions. Made from interconnected polymer strips, this three-dimensional system is both flexible and robust, providing superior support by securing soil and other materials in place.
Key advantages of StrataWeb® Geocell
What makes our StrataSlope™ unique?
Higher Load-Bearing Capacity:
Reduces pressure and improves the ground’s load-bearing capacity.
Minimized Differential Settlements:
Ensures uniform settlement across the embankment.
Higher Embankments
This method enables the construction of embankments higher than those constructed using traditional methods.
What impact does our StrataWeb® create?
How is our Geocell manufactured?
The system utilizes strips of extruded polymer welded together at intervals that when expanded, form a 3-dimensional, honeycomb mattress. Filled with granular material, the resulting cellular confinement system efficiently transfers compressive and tensile stresses from heavy loads, to provide higher load support capacity than any geosynthetic or geogrid product available.
Applications of StrataWeb® Geocell
Erosion Control on Slopes
Slopes are naturally vulnerable to erosion, but MEGS GeoCell is here to safeguard them. Its unique honeycomb structure anchors materials in place, significantly reducing soil loss from rain, wind, and water runoff. This makes it a practical, long-lasting option for maintaining the integrity of slopes. Plus, MEGS GeoCell is adaptable to various slope angles, ensuring that no two projects are too tricky to tackle.
Load Support for Unstable Soils
Constructing on unstable soils doesn't have to be a logistical headache. MEGS GeoCell’s innovative design excels at spreading loads evenly over a broad area, strengthening the soil beneath. Whether you're building roads, parking lots, or industrial yards, this increased load distribution brings stability to your ground. By reducing the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, you’re not only saving time but also cutting costs over the long haul.

Drainage and Canal Lining Solutions
Water management is a breeze with MEGS GeoCell, especially when it comes to lining drainage systems and canals. It proficiently directs water flow, reducing blockage risks and supporting efficient drainage. With its ability to fit various shapes and sizes, the installation process is swift and straightforward. This means you can control water with confidence, all while maintaining the project’s efficiency and budget.
Quality Assurance of StrataWeb®
Geocells are robust due to its three-dimensional structure. An edge ahead of its two-dimensional geosynthetic reinforcements. However, design using these geosynthetics is complex considering raw material used, depth, weld spacing, infill and type of application. The long-term performance of a geocell is still a research domain across the world. However, it is vastly dependent on numerous factors such as raw material, process of manufacturing, the designs, and the end application.
Since, StrataWeb® are used for critical designs, it is essential to have a clear understanding of its durability. StrataWeb® undergoes exhaustive testing at internationally reputed laboratories to define all of the above factors.
What are the different stages of testing for StrataWeb®?
QC testing
Oxidative induction time
Field performance testing (improvement factors)
Environmental stress crack resistance
Seam peel strength and seam weld hang strength
UV protection
Resistance to weathering and oxidation
Projects that have used our Geocell
Strengthening of the internal roads using strataweb geocells
This project includes the ground improvement of subgrade for the internal roads at yarn mills at Amravati, Maharashtra. Since the site had expansive soil, it was difficult to repair the roads in a conventional way.
