Bodcell™ tree root protection Bodcell™ tree root protection system is a cellular confinement system for protecting tree roots where a trafficked surface may cause damage to the roots (road, access route or driveway). Bodcell™ geocell is particularly essential where a TPO (Tree Protection Order) is in force. The cellular confinement system not only stabilizes the ground, but ensures that the roots beneath are protected from heavy vehicle forces on the surface. Bodcell™ is supplied flat packed and is easily opened to form the required cell structure. It is simply fixed in place using our metal fixing pins. Bodcell™ tree root protection ensures that downward forces (vehicles & pedestrians) are spread laterally reducing loads on the underlying soils. Without the cellular root protection system, the surface may become compacted and rutted resulting in the load forces pushing downwards damaging the tree roots. This can result in the death of the tree. Bodcell™ is an ideal solution for providing ground reinforcement within tree protection areas by confining fill material (soil or angular stone / gravel) within its strong yet flexible cell structure in order to provide a stable base for traffic and an even load distribution. Bodcell™ geocell is manufactured from a permeable geotextile material thus allowing lateral movement of air and water. Bodcell™ is suitable for permanent tree protection areas such as woodland trails, paths, driveways, roads, access routes and parking areas. It may also be used as a temporary ground reinforcement where access to a site is limited by the presence of trees. Easily installed onto the level base.
