CABINET NOTES: The Geocell Project, which is a type of three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyester, or other polymer materials.

Plans are being formalized by the Ministry of Works and the Department of the Environment for the testing of this product in the construction of roads in Antigua and Barbuda.

Geocells are expanded on-site to form a flexible, interlocking grid, then filled with concrete.

Once filled, the system distributes loads laterally and vertically, significantly increasing the bearing capacity and stability of the material inside.

This is anticipated to improve the durability of concrete roads.
