Triton® Marine Cells
- Designed for marine applications
- Made from select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins
- Highly oriented and resists elongation (creep) from high tensile loads
- Resistant to installation damage and chemical or biological long-term degradation
Triton marine cells are used to construct high-strength, composite earth fills in adverse conditions, including confined, structural-quality fills built below the water level or with weak fill materials (a geotextile liner placed within the cells enables the use of fine-grained fill materials). Applications include:
- Bulkheads (new construction or rehabilitation)
- Cores for breakwaters, groins, jetties, and dikes
- Foundations for embankments or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) slopes or walls
- Containment dikes for dredge spoils or other waste materials
Triton marine cells are constructed with three SKUs of uniaxial geogrids: UX100, UX200, and UX300.
