PolyCell Woven PP Geocells
PolyCell uses coated woven polypropylene cells to confine infill and form concrete-filled protection systems. We supply and install PolyCell for channels, slopes and lining-protection works, with the cell layout and filling coordinated to the design.


Backed by Pan-African supply, technical support, and project experience, PolyCell™ is the authoritative alternative to legacy multi-cell geocell systems-without compromise on performance, service life, or compliance.
HDPE Liner Protection & Concrete Channel Works
Installed above geomembranes in canals, dams, reservoirs, and water infrastructure to protect HDPE liners from UV exposure, mechanical damage, and construction traffic
Functions as permanent in-situ concrete shuttering, eliminating traditional formwork
Creates a controlled, interlocking concrete matrix with reduced cracking and minimal jointing
Widely used in irrigation canals, stormwater channels, spillways, and lined drains
Low-Cost Roads, Access Tracks & Platforms
Provides base stabilisation over weak or variable subgrades
Reduces reliance on thick crushed stone layers, lowering haulage and material costs
Enables the use of locally available or marginal fill materials, ideal for remote sites
Proven in rural roads, mine access tracks, construction platforms, and service roads
Slope, Embankment & Erosion Control
Controls surface runoff and prevents rill and gully erosion on slopes and embankments
Supports vegetated or concrete-filled erosion protection systems
Stabilises road cuttings, mining embankments, landfill covers, and drainage outfalls
Suitable for both temporary works and permanent erosion protection
Driveways, Yards & Load-Bearing Surfaces
Prevents rutting and deformation under repeated vehicle loads
Provides a finished structural surface when filled with gravel or concrete
Ideal for residential driveways, commercial yards, industrial hardstands, and rural access areas
Built for Contractors. Trusted by Engineers.
Poly Cell™ is supplied with method statements, anchoring layouts, and infill guidance aligned to real African construction scenarios-from canals and liner protection to roads and erosion control.

Installation and technical guidance
Design and procurement inputs
Confirm the supplied polymer and construction, cell depth and geometry, seam or connection performance, anchorage, infill and subgrade preparation. GS HD GEOCEL and PolyCell require their own product-specific details.
Provide the product grade or performance specification, drawings or BOQ, quantities, site location and required date. We will define supply, delivery and any agreed installation and QA/QC responsibilities in the quotation.

Poly Cell™ PP Multicellular Geocell is designed to simplify construction on complex sites while delivering repeatable, engineer-controlled outcomes. Its modular format and confinement geometry allow rapid installation with minimal specialist equipment-ideal for African site conditions where speed, logistics, and reliability matter.
SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY
Choose the right specification
Match the erosion or confinement system to slope geometry, soil, water exposure, loading and the intended finish.
- Identify whether the duty is surface erosion, cellular confinement or a cementitious lining.
- Confirm the exact product, substrate, anchorage, infill and joint or overlap details.
- Use the product procedure and engineered layout rather than transferring fixing rules between systems.
Define the quality records
Inspect product identity, prepared ground, fixing and continuity, then record infill or activation and any specified acceptance checks.
For a useful quotation: send the grade or performance specification, quantity, location, required date and scope. Availability, delivery and installation responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
