The Shape of Strength

One of the strongest structural shapes is the three dimensional honeycomb configuration. This is demonstrated not only in nature but in a multitude of manmade objects, including composite structural elements used in aircraft and spacecraft. Now, the honeycomb shape provides three-dimensional soil reinforcement that solves the most difficult civil engineering problems associated with load support over soft soils, erosion on steep slopes, and the lining of lagoons, drainage channels and landfills.

Welcome to the World of StrataWeb!

In the late 1970’s, the US Army Corps of Engineers developed a rapid deployment system to provide heavy military equipment access over soft soils. The result of their research was a plastic honeycomb shaped mattress system called a geocell which could be filled with sand or gravel and support heavy loads over soft foundations. StrataWeb is a commercialized version of this system which the U.S. military has been using for almost 30 years. Since those early days, geocells have been utilized in thousands of military and commercial projects throughout the world.

The system utilizes strips of extruded polymer welded together at intervals which, when expanded, forms a 3-dimensional, honeycomb mattress. Filled with granular material, the resulting cellular confinement system efficiently transfers compressive and tensile stresses from heavy loads to provide higher load support capacity than any geosynthetic/ geogrid product available.

StrataWeb is available worldwide, along with our renowned customer support and technical assistance. StrataWeb meets international engineering specifications and is competitive in the global marketplace. Most importantly, the very high quality of StrataWeb matches the proven quality of our other products; Stratagrid, StrataTex, Microgrid, StrataDrain and the Sleeve-It fence foundation system.
