GeoMax (Geocell) - Type A

Introduction

Huifeng GeoMax™ is widely used in construction for erosion control, soil stabilization on flat ground and steep slopes, channel protection, and structural reinforcement for load support and earth retention. Huifeng GeoMax™ is made with ultrasonically-welded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) that are expanded on-site to form a honeycomb-like structure which may be filled with sand, soil, rock or concrete, etc.



Advantage

♦ GeoMax™ is retractile, contractible, construction into a mesh, when fill with the soil, gravel or loose materials such as concrete, they can be with strong lateral limitations and takong degree structure.

♦ GeoMax™ has the features of light weight, wear-resistance, stable chemical performance, anti photo-oxidation, acid and alkali resistance, suitable for different soil and desert conditions.

♦ GeoMax™ has high level sidewise restriction and anti-skid, anti deformation capacity, enhance the bearing capacity of the subgrade effective and distributed load.

♦ GeoMax™ can meet different engineering needs by changing it’s Depth and Bonded Ranges. The sections are available in various cell sizes, cell depths and section lengths.

♦ GeoMax™ is a convenient connection structure, easy to transport, and with high construction speed.




Why GeoMax™

In roads, railways, sewers and slope applications, etc. during construction, sometimes we encounter soft and/or weak soils. The traditional way is to fill with expensive materials, which could be costly and time consuming. However, there is an effective alternative method, by using Huifeng GeoMax™ system directly on the subgrade. Cells are then filled with readily available granular materials and compacted.

After over 10 years of dedicating into the Geocell products. Huifeng GeoMax™ provides a great solution and economical way significantly improves the performance of soils by confining and stabilizing them in the GeoMax™’s High-strength network of interconnected cells. The GeoMax™ solution means to challenge soil stability problems in lots of applications. (Soil stabilization, retaining wall, earth retention, slope, load support, channel protection, etc.)



How GeoMax™ Works

When infilled with compacted materials, it creates a new composite entity that possesses enhanced mechanical and geotechnical properties. When the soil contained within a GeoMax™ is subjected to pressure, it causes lateral stresses on perimeter cell walls. The 3D zone of confinement reduces the lateral movement of soil particles while vertical loading on the contained infill results in high lateral stress and resistance on the cell-soil interface. These increase the shear strength of the confined soil, which:

♦ Creates a stiff mattress or slab to distribute the load over a wider area
♦ Reduces punching of soft soil
♦ Increases shear resistance and bearing capacity
♦ Decreases deformation

Confinement from adjacent cells provides additional resistance against the loaded cell through passive resistance, while lateral expansion of the infill is restricted by high hoop strength. Compaction is maintained by GeoMax™ resulting in long term reinforcement.
