Geocells (cellular confinement systems) provide soil stabilization for farm roads, improving:
✔ Load-bearing capacity (supports tractors, trucks, and heavy equipment)
✔ Mud & erosion control (reduces rutting in wet conditions)
✔ Long-term durability (lasts 10+ years with proper installation)
✔ Cost efficiency (uses on-site fill materials, lowering gravel needs by 50%)
Parameter | Requirement | Test Standard |
---|---|---|
Geocell Height | 100–200mm | ASTM D4439 |
Strip Thickness | ≥1.2mm | ASTM D5199 |
Tensile Strength | ≥20 kN/m | ASTM D6693 |
UV Resistance | 5,000+ hours | ASTM D4355 |
Recommended Fill Materials:
Crushed stone (20–40mm, angular)
Recycled concrete (well-graded)
Compacted gravel (≤50mm particle size)
✔ Remove topsoil (if soft or organic)
✔ Grade & compact subgrade (95% Proctor density)
✔ Ensure 1–2% cross slope for drainage
Unroll & expand geocells along the road path
Anchor edges (300mm trench or U-pins @ 1m spacing)
Connect panels (thermal welding or mechanical clips)
Layer thickness: 150mm per lift
Compaction method: Vibratory roller (3–5 passes)
Target density: 92–95% (ASTM D698)
Top layer: 50mm fine gravel (for smoother driving)
Drainage: Crowned surface + side ditches
Feature | With Geocell | Traditional Gravel Road |
---|---|---|
Rut Resistance | High (minimal deformation) | Low (frequent regrading) |
Maintenance | Every 3–5 years | Annual regraveling |
Mud Control | Excellent (reduced soil mixing) | Poor (muddy in rain) |
Cost Over 10 Years | 30–50% lower | Higher (frequent repairs) |
Heavy equipment access roads
Muddy lane stabilization
Feedlot & livestock pathways
Orchard & vineyard access
✔ Inspect annually for surface wear
✔ Spot-fill ruts with compacted gravel
✔ Ensure drainage stays clear
