Geo Cells
The leading provider of geocells for ground stabilisation in Australia.
Geocells for retaining walls, slope protection, load support, and more
Geocells offer a host of applications in the construction and civil engineering industries. The technique is often used to build robust retaining walls, stabilise loose soil, and ensure long-term erosion control on-site or in the local area. This is also a highly cost-effective solution to ground stabilisation and environmental rehabilitation thanks to the high-tensile materials used to make geocells.
At Ground Stabilisation Systems, we’ve provided geocell soil stabilisation services to clients around Australia for over 20 years. Contact us for more information about geocells and our soil erosion prevention services.
How geocells work
Geocells were developed in the late 1970s and 1980s for earth retention applications, and we have seen the technique develop and improve over the years. Now, this innovative solution is commonly used for:
Geocells are cellular confinement systems designed to stabilise and protect soil, maintaining its compaction and creating a stronger structure. The interconnected cells have a three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure to ensure the geocell is strong and durable while improving the soil’s load distribution for maximum performance.
The cells are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyester and other polymer materials. These materials are made to reduce lateral movement of soil while vertically loading the contained infill. The cells have high elastic stiffness and tensile strength, again assisting with the weight distribution of the soil so less rutting occurs.
Geocells can be transported to your site folded flat and later infilled with suitable material once in position. When the soil or other infill material is subjected to pressure from above (e.g., the weight of vehicles), the load is distributed across a wider area, and some of the pressure is directed out laterally to the perimeter cell walls.
This increases the strength and lifespan of the pavement layer or retaining structure.
Other benefits include:

How we work
At Ground Stabilisation Systems, we design and develop geo-webbing plans for construction and civil engineering clients across Australia. We can solve even the most complex environmental challenges using durable geocell materials and the latest innovative installation techniques — from erosion control to soil stabilisation, channel protection and structural reinforcement.
We will deliver the geocell materials to your site and expand them to form cells. The individual cells are then packed with soil, sand, aggregate, or concrete and mechanically compacted to ensure the fill is flush with or below the adjacent terrain.
The process is relatively simple but still requires the expertise of a ground stabilisation specialist. Contact the team from Ground Stabilisation Systems for geocell soil stabilisation services today.
What makes us the go-to choice for geocell installation in Australia?
Ground Stabilisation Systems has been one of Australia’s leading providers of geocells for more than 20 years. Utilising the finest materials and most innovative techniques in the industry, we have completed an extensive range of projects using durable geocells — for example, our team was engaged by the McCloy Group in 2015 to work with their engineers and designers to develop a three-dimensional slope stabilisation plan for an upcoming residential development in Teralba, Lake Macquarie.
The project presented various challenges, including steep slopes, water run-off issues, a high visibility rate, and concerns from the local council. Our “geo-web” solution included soil nailing, and we delivered an economical, effective solution to the area’s soil stability problems.
The stable, well-vegetated, and rehabilitated site was considered a success for the developers, future residents, and the local council, paving the way for similar developments in the future. Here’s what the client had to say.
“Ground Stabilisation Systems installed approximately 1,000 square metres of geo-webbing, including rock anchoring to our Billy’s Lookout Estate. Peter and the team completed the project professionally, reliably and safely to present a quality product. I would not hesitate to recommend Ground Stabilisation Systems.”
We can achieve the same desirable result for your project. Contact us today for more information about geocells and our expert ground stabilisation services. Our team will provide an obligation-free quote alongside reliable recommendations and advice.
