Terram Series 500 Cellular System for Military Applications

Terram is a specialist manufacturer of geotextiles and other geosynthetics used for a variety of applications including separation, filtration, drainage, erosion control and increasingly in Specialist Industrial uses.

The Terram Series 500 Cellular System for Military Applications, uses Terram's incredibly strong fabrics as a confinement system to allow structures to be constructed from locally available compactable materials to allow the quick assembly of defensive and protective structures.

Benefits

• The system is light, strong and flexible (fabric has 21KN of tensile strength)

• Quick and straightforward to erect and environmentally positive

• Uses locally available fill and blends with surrounding area.

• Enables the construction of substantial physical barriers but leaves communication unaffected.

The Terram Series 500 Cellular System for Military Applications is constructed from a unique combination of polymers combined with the latest adhesive technology. It maintains rigidity under tension and allows mechanical filling and compaction. It also allows substantial packing density to facilitate transportation to site.

The forces of nature can have a powerful effect on steep slopes, river banks, spillways and other exposed areas. It takes a strong solution to prevent the movement of soil caused by static, dynamic, hydro-dynamic and gravitational forces.

The Terram Cellular System is the result of extensive research and development by Terram Limited. An outstanding soil stabilising solution, the cellular system utilises a three dimensional geotextile ‘honeycomb’ structure to provide soil stabilisation across a wide variety of applications.

Flexible and easy to install

• Strong

• Developed and tested to high Terram standards

• Economical with low maintenance requirements

• Can eliminate the need for more expensive construction techniques

• Helps encourage vegetation for a natural green environment

• Suitable for a wide variety of applications including:
  Access roads and parking areas
  Pavement bases and sub-bases
  Road widening schemes
  Embankment slopes
  Containment dykes and levees
  Landfill lining and covers
  Dam faces and spillways
  Noise abatement walls

Terram Cellular System confines the fill material within its strong – yet flexible – geotextile cell structure.

This restricts down-slope migration in slope applications, provides an even load distribution on paved and unpaved areas and also provides a stable base when used over soft subgrades. Whilst the strong, permeable geotextile material restricts the movement of fill material, it allows the free movement of water and nutrients in a vegetated system helping to create a healthy soil environment.

The system can be used with a variety of infill materials including soil, aggregates and concrete and because native infill materials may also be acceptable, it can be a very cost-effective solution.

Terram Cellular System is easy to handle and install, but is low maintenance, economical and strong, providing a good solution for many soil stabilisation applications, no matter what the problem.

Terram also manufacture coloured textiles for camouflage and shrouding and can also supply radar detectable fabrics.
