Ground Improvement Using Modified Polyethylene 3D-Cellular
Confinement Systems
The History of 3D-Cellular Confinement Systems
The Army Corp of Engineers invented 3D geocelluar grids in the
1970’s. The geocell was designed for quick installation on beaches
for amphibious beach assaults. It could be stored and moved in a
very compact form, expanded and filled with sand, and ready at an
instant for supporting vehicles, which would otherwise get stuck in
the sand. The geocells were also used extensively in Desert Storm.
Soldiers would spread the geocells out in the desert, fill cells
with sand, and drive tanks and trucks on them. They would even land
planes on them! The geocells could easily be removed when no longer needed.
