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.
