Our History
- In 1990, after having an experience since 1986 in the production of geo-synthetics, Geo Products specializes in the development and
production of Geocells with HDPE and installation elements, as a product design and production approach that contribute directly to
the environmental processes of engineering projects in soil improvement and erosion control, directly reducing the amount of
aggregate materials to be used in civil works.
- Locating its plant strategically in Houston, Texas, capital city of the oil industry and direct access to the port. In order to ensure the
best raw material supply and efficient distribution processes to the 7 continents, where we have delivered EnviroGrid® Geocell
solutions to more than 50 different countries with projects with geo-technology.
- In 2014 Geo Products invests in a new product development and production equipment plant which increases capacity to more than
300%, making it the best option for efficient and effective provisioning of Envirogrid® Geocells.

Objective: to improve the

geomechanical properties of the soil
bases


Concept to successfully increase the load capacity of the soil with

EnviroGrid® Geocells:
• A confinement effect in the form of a bee panel, combined with
tension dispersion and mattress effect.
• Generate a redistribution effect of charges, each cell pushes the
other as a single system.
• A structure of high density polyethylene strips (HDPE) that are
ultrasonically welded to create independent cells in a panel model.
Objective: to improve the geomechanical properties of the soil base




 Consider the physical properties of the system including the
tension value of the perforated strips as well as the weld break
value.
 The Geosynthetic Institute has taken this as the basis of its "GRI
Guide GS13" in which they give the test standards to evaluate
the "efficiency" of the system.



 The efficiency of the system must keep a relationship between
the weld and the wall of 100%.
 Showing a weld with a value of 519 pounds and a wall value of
409 pounds, with a 6 ”material generates a seam efficiency of
127%, which is acceptable.

ENVIROGRID® GEOCELLES WITH RECYCLED

Soil Stabilization ASPHALT (RAP) AS FILLING
It has been reported that EnviroGrid® Geocells, a type of geosynthetics manufactured in the form of three-
dimensional interconnected cells, provide lateral confinement to the filler material to increase the modulus and
load capacity. Most studies so far have focused on the behavior of reinforced bases with EnviroGrid® Geocells
under static load. Envirogrid® Geocells used for pavement applications are subjected to repeated loads. Limited
studies have been conducted to investigate the performance of reinforced bases with EnviroGrid® Geocells
under repeated loading.


This is why Geo Products wanted to verify not only a multiplication coefficient but also to verify a methodology
to evaluate the reinforcement of the layer according to repeated loads and thus ensure the filling materials in
different behaviors. This study experimentally investigated the effect of EnviroGrid® Geocell reinforcement on
permanent deformation and the percentage of elastic deformation of granular bases. The test results showed
that EnviroGrid® Geocell reinforcement reduced permanent deformation and increased the percentage of
elastic deformation of granular bases. Several sections reinforced with EnviroGrid® Geocells demonstrated even
better performance compared to the sections reinforced with individual EnviroGrid® Geocells.


The objective raised in this research with the University of Texas Arlington, is:
 Increase in load capacity, due to the plate effect.

 Evaluate the distribution of efforts in the field, minimizing vertical deformations.
 Use 60% asphalt recycled material and 40% excavation material, without additive.
 Improve the life of the pavement, the strength and stiffness of the base layer by at least a factor of 3
and the reduction in deformations by at least 50%. According to studies prepared by Dr. Aravind Pedarla
and MSc. Manikanta Saladhi (2017).
