Spillways and floodbanks are vital for safely managing excess water but often face challenges such as high flow velocities and erosion. If left unprotected these areas can quickly degrade and become ineffective, requiring costly repairs.

Salix can help protect and stabilise spillways and floodbanks. Using reinforced erosion control systems, natural vegetation and specialist seed mixes from our own nurseries we create resilient channels that can withstand extreme conditions whilst blending seamlessly into the environment.

To ensure long lasting performance we can also supply a range of reliable fixings including Terra-Lock anchoring and Rock Lock to keep installations firmly in place even under the most demanding conditions. If you’d like to learn more about our fixing systems just get in touch! Our team will be happy to talk you through the options and answer any questions.
