Description
Micro and macro drainage channels need to be lined to prevent progressive erosion of the water flow. In this condition, the StrataWeb geocell is used as a formwork that allows a fast and efficient filling of the coating, reducing execution costs and allowing different types of finishing depending on the flow conditions: vegetation, gravel and concrete.
StrataWeb is used for full-section lining in trapezoidal channels and the bottoms of rectangular channels.

Operation
Formwork in cell confinement format: StrataWeb geocells are supplied in closed panels that are quickly and simply opened on site with an accordion, after the StrataWeb is anchored in channels at the top of the slopes. The filling of the cells, which function as molds, is done effectively, finishing the channel coating process.

Features
- Possibilities of different coatings depending on the flow needs: vegetation, granular material and concrete.
- StrataWeb geocells are made of high density polyethylene (100% virgin HDPE) with high mechanical resistance and chemical, biological and UV degradation.
- StrataWeb walls have a unique roughness pattern and perforations in order to maximize the efficiency of confining the infill material.
- When filled with concrete, StrataWeb does not require expansion joints.
