Geocell Cut Slope Protection in Cilegon
Project Background & Challenges This project in Cilegon involved a cut slope to clear land for a new industrial facility, which called for geocell cut slope protection. The problem was that the resulting slope was fairly steep, with surface soil of sandy clay that is very sensitive to water. In the rainy season, Cilegon often […]
Geocell 15cm as a Retaining Wall in Tangerang
Background: Erosion and Lateral Pressure Tangerang has fairly high rainfall. On this geocell retaining wall project, the technical team faced two main problems that had to be solved quickly. First, the embankment slope was highly vulnerable to surface erosion. Free-flowing rainwater could easily scour the outer soil layer (topsoil) and damage the slope profile already […]
Geocell Hauling Road on Soft Soil in East Kalimantan
Project Background and Challenges A hauling road has one main enemy: concentrated vertical stress, which is exactly what a geocell hauling road is built to handle. When heavy truck wheels pass over a conventional road surface, the stone aggregate risks being pushed sideways (lateral displacement). On this East Kalimantan project, the contractor faced several critical […]
Geocell Landscape Slope Solution in Bali
Project Background & Challenges Bali has always been a centre of green architecture innovation. In this geocell landscape slope project, the contractor and architect worked on a 1,368 m² area designed as a green space. The main problem was the site contours and a structural design with fairly steep slopes, including the architectural roof. When […]
Geocell Industrial Road for Heavy Loads in Batang
Project Challenges The industrial estate in Batang is growing rapidly, and this geocell industrial road project shows a typical problem there: infrastructure is often built on less than ideal subgrade conditions. If crushed stone aggregate (base course) is spread directly over soft subgrade, several serious problems emerge over time: The aggregate mixes with mud […]
Woven Geotextile for a Settlement-Free Warehouse in Jember
Project Background & Challenges Jember is a fast-growing area with steadily increasing logistics demand. On this woven geotextile warehouse project, the contractor faced an area of 8,400 m² that required very thorough subgrade preparation. The main technical challenge in building a warehouse floor (slab-on-grade) is the extremely high live load and dead load. Fully loaded […]
