Terram Geocell tree root protection is a cellular confinement geocell system for protecting tree roots where a road, access route or driveway is required and where a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is in force. The cellular confinement system not only stabilises the ground, but ensures that the roots beneath are protected from heavy vehicle forces on the surface.

Terram Geocell is supplied flat packed and is easily opened to form the cell structure. Terram geocell and is simple to install by fixing to the ground using metal fixing pins. Terram Geocell tree root protection limits lateral movement of the cell material and therefore ensures that downward forces by vehicles are spread laterally reducing loads on the underlying soils. Without the cellular geocell system, the surface would become compacted and rutted. This would result in the downward forces damaging the tree roots and resulting in the possible death of the tree.

Terram Geocell tree root protection is an ideal solution for providing ground reinforcement where tree root protection is required together with ground reinforcement. Terram Geocell cells confine the fill material within its strong yet flexible cell structure in order to provide a stable base for traffic and an even load distribution. A major advantage of Terram geocell over competitive products is that the geotextile material is permeable which has the benefit of  allowing the lateral movement of air and water ensuring that roots are well serviced by moisture and oxygen.

Terram tree root protection geocell system is suitable for many applications including Woodland trails, paths, driveways, roads, access routes and parking areas. It can also be used as a temporary ground reinforcement where access to a site is limited by the presence of trees. It can easily be removed when the work on site is completed leaving the ground left undamaged.

A geotextile layer should be used in the construction of Terram Geocell to ensure that the cell contents are retained and to fill material doesn't mix with the sub-base or sub-soil.
