Vegetated Slopes (Sustainable Protection)

Three dimensional cellular network of Geocell system stabilizes topsoil for sustainable vegetation on slopes up to 45° and higher.

On slopes effected by surface erosion, vegetation is a very natural and effective protection method. KRT^® Geocell system creates a structural soil stabilization avoiding surface soil and vegetation loss caused by gravitational force and erosion. The system prevents erosion caused by surface runoff and sheet flow. Unlike two dimensional erosion control materials, Geocell system provides slope surface stability.

Vegetated slopes with Geocell cellular confinement system are green friendly and environmental. The system allows rain water transmission and limits the water flow as well as the soil loss. By infiltrating stormwater and limiting runoff and soil loss into downstream waterways, KRT^®cellular confinement system reduces environmental impacts.

Allows Building Steeper Slopes

Allows construction of steeper embankment slopes which reduces horizontal use of land. 3D cellular confinement of the Geocell enables building sustainable vegetation on steep slopes.

Safe Vegetative Growth Enviroment

Geocell’s three dimensional network creates a stable and safe vegetative growth enviroment by isolating each cell against erosive forces. Helps reducing moisture loss in topsoil for vegetation.

Withstands Sheet Erosion

Geocell system protects the infill material from severe erosion caused by surface runoff and sheet flow. 3D Cellular confinement provides slope-surface stability that 2D planar systems cannot provide.

Allows Cross Root Growth

Perforated cell walls of the geocell system improve root stability and cross-root growth. This mechanism strengths vegetation and creates a natural environment for sustainable vegetation.

Vegatation Alternatives

Allows selection of vegetation to meet local climate conditions. Slopes can be designed using plants suitable for local climatic conditions, aesthetic flowers, or even plants that can handle dry weather.

Plant Growth Over Liner Systems

By using tendons, the KRT^® Geocell system allows sustainable vegetation over impermeable liner systems without damaging the protection materials.
