AquaRockBags for scour problems

2t AquaRockBags lifted into place with crane

The objective of the project was to fill the scour hole & to provide an extension to the existing spillway that prevents scouring downstream

AquaRock Bags used as a Working Platform

AquaRock Bags in working platform

A working platform was needed along the banks of the Saluda River in Columbia, SC to allow heavy equipment to be placed on it. This was needed for construction, but it had to be easily removed upon completion. This was the perfect opportunity to use AquaRock Bag.

River Towy, Bank Erosion, Carmarthen

Natural sediment accretion and vegetation colonisation after 5 months

Aqua Rock Bags were installed at the eroded toe of the failing riverbank after it had eroded the bank and caused the footpath to collapse into the River Towy in the centre of Carmarthen.

Erosion protection on the River Gripping

Salix supplied AquaRock Bags to provide an environmentally sensitive solution yet robust solution to protect the toe of the embankment from further slips and limit the potential for further erosion.

Coastal Road Protection

Coastal Revetment work using AquaRockBags

2T AquaRockBag® are used as a temporary measure to support the road and prevent scour during winter

Scour Prevented by AquaRockBags

2T AquaRockbags 18 months post installation

AquaRockBags® were installed by the local council highways team to prevent a road subsiding due to scour and erosion caused by the adjacent watercourse.​

As an ecologically sensitive site the use of traditional hard engineered bank protection was not an option and Salix’s bioengineered designs were favoured.
