Our Technical Director, David Holland, has been in the most recent edition of CIWEM’sThe Environment Magazine talking about the value of our 3D reinforced turf mats in erosion control.
Turf Reinforcement Erosion Mats in CIWEM
Soil Erosion
Erosion is a significant problem which can threaten assets and destroy habitats. Erosion is a natural process which is part of a rivers natural process, however man made problems exacerbate it and can cause extreme erosion events.
We are experts at assessing and modeling how to remove erosion pinch points and high velocity hot spots.
Soil loss can also be a major problem on large civil engineering projects or sites such as landfill – our products provide excellent solutions which reduce the threats significantly whilst being cost effective.
Erosion Control on Loch Garry Spillway
Tensar VMax P550 is designed for use as erosion control on steep slopes, high-flow channels, spillways, and shorelines.
Silent Valley Landfill
HydraCX has been applied to a landfill site in Ebbw Vale. The liner system isolates the landfill contents from the environment therefore protecting the soil and ground water from pollution.
Medmerry Realignment Scheme
Medmerry is one of the stretches of coastline most at risk of flooding in southern England. The overall scheme involves building major new sea defences inland and allowing a new intertidal area to form between Selsey and Bracklesham in West Sussex.
Tough Test on The Teme
Better Banks!
The Environment Agency are responsible for the river bank stability at Railway Lane, Lewes and recognising the integrity of the existing blockwork facing was deteriorating began to look into solutions to this challenge.
Salix Model Railways
Rail works have become an increasingly large part of our workload, particulary now that we have a Specialist Contracting capability.
In helping to re-model railways across the UK we have been met with some unusual challenges both in terms of the erosion problems themselves and the attendant access and safe working method issues.
