Soils that have small load capacity need to have their mechanical characteristics improved in order to portray parameters that provide safety to the desired works. The geocells were developed to obtain a cellular confinement system used for reinforcement, protection and coating of slopes, similar to a beehive, which can be filled with soil, granular materials or concrete. However, the present work presents economic viability methods between the projected concrete and the geotextile. With the methodology, it was considered that the alternative use of geocell promoted savings of 35% compared to the projected concrete. The results indicated by tables that compose the projected concrete coatings and geocells were made available by the executing company. Finally, the method was applied to the soil-cement satisfactorily serving the execution, mechanical and economic aspects.
