Protection and reinforcement

Geocells & Geocellular paving

Geocells provide cellular confinement for a range of projects, including car parks, slope reinforcement and the essential need to protect tree roots. They offer an ideal solution for erosion control on embankments and slopes, even steep ones, reducing the amount of materials needed to create stability and protection.

Geocellular paving is virtually invisible from the surface, but provides enhanced strength and durability. It can be infilled with soil to promote grass growth or gravel to create car parks, decorative driveways and paths.

ProtectaWeb prevents damage to tree roots

Whether you're building pathways, roads, car parks or lorry parks, ProtectaWeb provides reliable tree root protection in all types of soil, without any digging required.

The system is simply placed on the existing ground, filled and finished with a porous surface. The cells are filled with a clean angular stone which allows drainage and aeration through the cells. Perforated cell walls provide drainage, minimising hydrostatic build up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to the tree roots, even when installed on a gradient.

Chelsea Garden Project

The Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in London is one of the UK’s largest independent charitable hospitals. This project involved a need to solve the design constraints for the relocation of a Chelsea Flower Show garden to a hospice, on part of the hospital site. Wrekin provided geosynthetics products, and our experts led on-site product installation supervision to devise innovative solutions.

Colchester Cemetery and Crematorium

When Colchester Cemetery and Crematorium needed to increase the space visitors had to park their cars, its options were limited. The only potential area it identified was within a copse of established oak and maple trees. The use of ProtectaWeb™ for this project enabled it to go ahead with minimal tree felling and maximum land use.
