What Is Geocell Technology?

Geocell technology, a powerful yet simple solution, utilizes a network of honeycomb-like interconnected cells to confine infill, preventing movement and enhancing stability. As the industry’s most complete geocell system, the GEOWEB System (geocells) transforms loose, cohesionless soils into strong, stable foundations, ideal for applications ranging from roadways to steep embankments.

GEOWEB Geocells: High-Density Polyethylene for Superior Performance

Built from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a proprietary resin blend, the GEOWEB System is the industry’s most complete geocell system, designed with fully engineered components to withstand the most challenging oil and gas site problems. The GEOWEB geocells are manufactured in the USA under strict quality assurance and environmental control processes, ensuring high quality and reliability.

Unlike other geocell systems, GEOWEB geocells are made from pure HDPE with no fillers, unstable polymer combinations, or exotic polymer alloys, providing superior strength, longevity, and consistent performance. With over 40 years of proven success, the GEOWEB System offers the highest and longest-lasting performance in the industry.

Building Oil & Gas GEOWEB Roadways

The GEOWEB geocells are an economical solution for lease access roadways in and around oil sites, enabling quick installation in all-weather conditions. GEOWEB roads provide access over soft subgrades with just a single layer, reducing base materials and structures by up to 50%, in addition to long-term maintenance savings.

The high-performance HDPE GEOWEB geocells offer the best method of confinement and subgrade stress reduction in the industry.

The GEOWEB System:

  • Allows for the use of on-site, low-quality fill, including sandy soils that other geosynthetics cannot utilize, as most geogrids and geotextiles require high friction angle materials to achieve their optimal performance.
  • Ensures uniformity in performance across all primary elements of the system including cell walls, internal junctions, and connectors, and most competing geocells do not have the seam strength to be successful when placed at the top of the cross section.

Below are two examples of oil and gas access roads built with aggregate and on-site fill. Both projects were located in western Canada.

Environmental Safety and Long-Term Stability

The GEOWEB geocell material uses a base resin found in environmental applications, such as geomembranes, ensuring it is safe and does not spread harmful toxins. Presto Geosystems’ products have been third-party tested by accredited geosynthetics laboratories, confirming their long-term stability against environmental factors like weathering and oxidation.

The GEOWEB System was designed to handle heavy vehicle and drill rig loadings in extreme site conditions, and with over four decades of expertise, research, and installations our team can help ensure you can access the oil and gas with quick-to-deploy, stable and worry-free roadways.

Presto Geosystems Offers Complimentary Project Evaluations and On-Site Support.

Presto Geosystems engineering support before, during, and after construction is second to none. From complimentary project evaluations to on-site training and installation guidance, we are committed to helping you get it right the first time. Our trained network of distributors and representatives can offer valuable support from a project’s concept through construction.
