GeoGro Support structure of sewer pipe
The GeoGro's geocell can replace stone as the support structure of pipes or sewer pipes. The materials
of the
chamber can be taken from the local material to form a solid and durable overall plate structure. It is
more economical and practical to use the distance from large transportation pipelines, especially in
areas lacking stone materials.
For slopes that are not protected by any protection, while being eroded by rain, with the extension
of the rainfall duration, high-intensity rainfall will form runoff on the slopes, and the soil on the
slopes will be eroded by catchment water. The main manifestation is that the undercutting effect of the
slope is very obvious, sometimes even in the process of a rainfall, a whole set of continuous
development process from splash erosion, scale erosion to rill erosion, and even cut groove erosion is
formed. The catchment area of the cut trench is large, the water source is abundant, and its development
is very rapid, which is very harmful to the pipeline. Because of its main undercutting effect, it is
very easy to cause the pipeline to be exposed or even suspended.
By fixing the GeoGro's geocells flat on the slope surface, the occurrence of surface erosion can be
fundamentally
prevented, and at the same time, the concentrated erosion of slope surface runoff can be greatly
reduced. The geocell is fixed on the slope and filled with original soil (gravel soil, sand, silt and
clay) to form the overall structure of the cell. First, the cell structure forms an isolation layer
between the slope surface and the water flow to avoid direct erosion of the slope surface by the water
flow; secondly, the cell structure is a grid-like structure, which has a good energy dissipation effect
and greatly reduces the erosion consequences of the water flow; Finally, the soil material filled in the
cell is relatively loose, and the water seepage effect is very obvious, which greatly reduces the runoff
flow on the slope, that is, on the other hand, it plays an energy dissipation role. Because the soil
particles inside the cell are protected by the side limits of the cell and cannot be taken away by the
water flow to cause loss, therefore, the lower slope of the cell cannot be eroded by hydraulic power.
