The geocell placed on a steep slope holds the fill material in place. Also, the cell walls slow the flow of water down the slope. This action reduces or eliminates the formation of rills which are a major cause of soil erosion. In addition, water trapped in the cells will seep down through the fill soil, which promotes deep root growth. Geocells may also be installed on slopes subject to wave action. With geocell, small rip rap or rock that would normally be washed away can be used to control wave action erosion. A blanket of rock protects the shoreline, creates an attractive facia and restricts the growth of vegetation that can provide a home for rodents and insects. In addition, the geocell is an economic and aesthetic alternative to gabion basket.
