What happens here
Once the geocell grid is securely laid out, begin filling its cells with gravel. The video demonstrates the use of a tracked loader (skid steer with tracks) with a bucket to efficiently distribute the gravel. The loader approaches the grid, raises its bucket full of gravel, and then slowly tilts the bucket to allow the gravel to fall into the cells of the grid. It's important to distribute the gravel evenly, ensuring that all cells are filled to the top of the grid. If working without heavy machinery, gravel can be transported via a wheelbarrow and manually spread into the cells using a shovel and rake.
Goal: Distribute gravel evenly into all geocell compartments.
Tools and materials
- Rake — Leveling the gravel within the cells
- Shovel — Spreading gravel, especially for manual filling or fine adjustments
- Tracked Loader John Deere — Efficiently transporting and distributing large quantities of gravel into the geocell
- Gravel — Filling the geocell cells to create the permeable surface
