Our next level access solution. Developed from a military concept, Tough Cell, uses a patented novel polymer alloy that is superior to all other cellular confinement (geocell) products, prolonging the life of your road surface over extended periods. A major advantage of 3D cellular confinement system like Tough Cell is their ability to use fine granular materials and poorly graded aggregate, including native soil, sand, and recycled materials for heavy load support applications, such as heavy traffic pavements and railway substructures.
Tough Cell is the perfect example of an innovative technology that improves road construction, makes roads more sustainable, and reduces costs particularly in problematic soils, difficult locations and where aggregate resources are limited.
Typical applications of Tough Cell include load support for all types of roads (paved/unpaved, remote roads and pads), railroads, pipeline protection, slope and channel erosion protection, earth stabilization and retention, and landfills and reservoirs.
Tough Cell & Municipal Governments
Municipal governments are facing increasingly difficult financial decisions. They are being asked to resolve greater challenges with limited capital budgets that are not stretching as far as they need to. Transportation infrastructure seems to need constant expansion, expensive upgrades, and never-ending maintenance.
Paradox Access Solutions can help alleviate the demands on local governments’ capital and operating budgets. As Canada’s exclusive supplier of the world’s leading geocell, Tough Cell, Paradox Access Solutions can help municipalities build longer lasting, low maintenance roads with less aggregate.
Our team of engineering and construction specialists can design, certify, and build unpaved and paved roads quicker and more cost-effectively than those using conventional methods. Just take a look at one of our genuine before/after examples below.
Before Tough Cell
After Tough Cell
LESS AGGREGATE
- Reduces construction costs
- Use locally available infill materials
- Reduces trucking costs
- Quicker construction time
LONGER LIFESPAN
- Roads last up to FOUR times longer than conventional roads
- Apply future capital and operating budgets where they are needed
LESS MAINTENANCE
- Unpaved roads require very infrequent grading
- Extends the effective life of paving
- Reduces operating costs
- Maintenance equipment can be used elsewhere
- Road users suffer less wear & tear on their vehicles
- Aggregate loss is greatly reduced
