EnviroGrid ® is a three-dimensional cellular confinement system that provides a cost effective and sustainable solution to erosion control problems and soil stabilization needs. The geocell confines and strengthens infill material and significantly reduces the amount of infill material needed, allowing for the use of local aggregate. Made with ultrasonically welded HDPE virgin resin, EnviroGrid ® is designed for long term use in critical applications such as base stabilization, slope erosion, channel protection and retaining walls. The first cellular confinement system was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its use in Desert Storm in order to construct roads over soft ground. Since 1990, Geo Products has manufactured the EnviroGrid ® Geocell in the USA in its ISO 9001 certified facility with superior quality control standards. Geo Products specializes in offering a range of high quality polyethylene products, tailored to your needs. The EnviroGrid ® Geocell is manufactured in three different cell sizes or apertures with four different cell heights. The three cell apertures are EGA 20, EGA 30, and EGA 40, all offered in cell heights of 3", 4", 6", and 8". EnviroGrid is shipped in flat panels and expanded into the 3-D honeycomb structure. The standard EnviroGrid section is manufactured from 58 strips of HDPE ultrasonically welded together, resulting in a section length of 29 cells, with each strip being the approved width and 142 inches in length.

Bristol Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort

Location:Pacific Ocean Coastline; Panama

Background: The primary objective was to protect the banks of a canal within a luxury hotel located 85 miles west of Panama City on the Pacific Ocean coastline. Within the resort, walking paths and gazebos were strategically placed amid a winding man-made canal. The vegetated canal required wall slope angles of 1:1 to 3:1, potentially unstable. The resort was in need of a solution that would suit not only the needs of the fast-paced construction schedule, but the budget and aesthetic of the manicured grounds as well. Design Solutions: First, a nonwoven geotextile layer was laid atop the sub-base material to act as a separator to impede erosion between the layers. Then, the 4-inch geocell layer was installed and filled with local material; a mixture of local sand and soil. After the geocell was put into place, stabilizing the slopes, a layer of sod was laid directly on top. Results: EnviroGrid® was able to combat erosion control issues by confining the local soils in order to provide stability to the steep man-made slopes. The complete site preparation, installation and finishing work was completed by local gardeners in about three weeks.
