Geocell for Road Construction: Solving Subgrade Instability and Cost Challenges
bilizing weak foundations and extending pavement service life. Roads built on soft clay, silt, or loose sand often suffer from rutting and settlement due to insufficient bearing capacity. By integrating advanced HDPE Geocell Systems from Geofantex, engineers can significantly improve structural integrity while reducing material waste. Why Do Roads Fail Prematurely on Weak Subgrades? Soft subgrades cannot effectively resist repeated traffic loads, which causes the base aggregate to move laterally and results in deformation over time. This instability accelerates pavement cracking and increases maintenance costs. Installing a geocell for road construction system forms a three-dimensional confinement structure that locks aggregate in place and distributes loads more evenly across the foundation. As explained in Road Stabilization Solutions , cellular confinement improves bearing capacity and minimizes differential settlement, making it especially effective for challenging ...
