Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls combine geogrid reinforcement with compacted backfill to transform soil into a composite structural material. These walls typically rely on facing units made of blocks or panels, but BaseLok GeoCell offers an alternative that delivers a different look and feel—giving you faster construction and more design options on a single system.
BaseLok GeoCell replaces traditional facing units with a flexible cellular system that adapts to your project. Infill options include concrete, aggregate, or soil, with the soil option allowing for a vegetated face. Cells are offered in multiple embedment depths and can function as a gravity wall in certain applications. And because GeoCell panels ship collapsed, significantly more square footage of wall face fits on a single truck—reducing transportation costs and the overall project carbon footprint.
