Build Reliable Infrastructure on Challenging Ground

Weak, variable, saturated or expansive soils can increase excavation, imported aggregate, structural thickness, maintenance requirements and project risk. PRS combines cellular confinement technology with project-specific engineering to improve confinement, load distribution and structural performance.

How Cellular Confinement Systems Work

01

Stabilize weak subgrades

Improve load support and control deformation where conventional ground conditions limit performance.

02

Optimize structural layers

Reduce unnecessary thickness and imported material where project design and validation allow.

03

Use smarter infill options

Evaluate local, marginal or recycled materials when they meet the engineered project requirements.

04

Protect lifecycle value

Design for long-term performance, maintainability and lower intervention demand over the asset life.

Engineered for Demanding Infrastructure

PRS solutions support infrastructure across industries where challenging ground conditions, heavy loads and long-term performance are critical.

Common Questions About Geocell Solutions

Find clear answers to common questions about Neoloy® Tough-Cells, HDPE geocells, project-specific engineering, infill materials and installation support.

How are NPA material properties researched and validated?

The NPA material used in Neoloy® Tough-Cells is supported by decades of laboratory research, full-scale testing, field monitoring and published engineering studies. This work has evaluated critical material properties including stiffness, dimensional stability, creep resistance, deformation behavior and long-term performance. Testing and performance evaluation are conducted in accordance with applicable international standards and engineering guidance, including ASTM methods, ISO/TR guidance and recognized geotechnical and pavement engineering practices.

What is a geocell?

A geocell is a three-dimensional cellular confinement system used to stabilize soil and granular materials. Once filled, the cells restrict lateral movement of the infill, improve load distribution and create a more stable structural layer.

What is the difference between Neoloy® Tough-Cells and HDPE geocells?

Neoloy® Tough-Cells are engineered for demanding infrastructure where long-term stiffness, dimensional stability and structural performance are required. HDPE geocells are suited to less demanding applications where standard geocell performance is sufficient, such as low-traffic areas, slopes, channels and erosion-control applications.

Can local or recycled materials be used as infill?

Yes. Depending on the project design, Neoloy® Tough-Cells can enable the use of locally available, marginal or recycled materials as structural infill, reducing dependence on imported high-quality aggregates.

Does PRS provide project-specific engineering and design optimization?

Yes. For Neoloy® Tough-Cell projects, PRS engineers evaluate project conditions and optimize the solution according to loading, soil conditions, available materials, structural requirements and required service life.

Does PRS provide installation and technical support?

Yes. PRS provides technical guidance, installation training and on-site support when required, helping project teams implement Neoloy® Tough-Cells correctly and efficiently.
