AGA GeoCell as a lightweight, expandable geocell, cellular confinement system is ideal for ground stabilisation and tree root protection.

Tree root protection

Protection of established and young trees is, more often than not, an important aspect of any project where site work infringes on an area of tree roots.

The major considerations are protecting roots from mechanical damage and compaction; and ensuring they have access to water, nutrients and the space to grow.

AGA solution relies on two essential products. AGA Geocell, a cellular confinement system, this is used  to support and contain the specified fill that creates the load bearing surface and AGA TRPM300, a needle punch fabric that allows penetration of water and nutrients and provides a cushioning layer over the roots while deflecting fibrous roots rising up into the Geocell fill.

AGA Tree Root Protection System is designed as  a permanent long life construction however since our products are lightweight and flexible they can also be used to construct temporary access routes through wooded areas and over unstable ground.

AGA Tree Root Protection System enables contractors to conform to BS 5837: 2005 Trees in Relation to Construction - Recommendations. This standard gives recommendations and guidance on the principles to be applied, to achieve a satisfactory juxtaposition of trees, including shrubs, hedges and hedgerows, with structures.

Ground stabilisation

Ground stabilisation
Seeding and planting will often provide adequate vegetation to stabilise soil on gently profiled slopes.  However when slopes become steeper a more robust solution will be required.

AGA GeoCell provides stability to soil that can support a range of vegetation.
