When built unchecked and not fully addressed through a proactive design process, the effects of soil erosion can result in serious consequences to landscapes and structures.
Under the effect of strong winds, heavy rains, water flows and gravity, it is very common to see embankments, riverbanks and other land formations deteriorate due to erosion, and in many cases compromising the stability of the larger mass and presenting a serious risk for loss of life nearby.
Our teams are often called upon to advise about possible measures to restore damaged infrastructure and stabilize visibly failing slopes for instance, when the issue could have been anticipated. By working with Geoquest engineers it is possible to put in place preventive measures that control the effects of erosion by protecting superficial layers and reinforcing the overall mass when necessary.
Articulating Concrete Block
Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) is a system used for meeting erosion control design needs, where each concrete block can flex and adapt to the natural terrain. With six available thickness options, this interconnected block system ensures economical stability tailored to the unique requirements of each project.
Fabric Formed Grout Mattress
A Fabric Formed Grout Mattress is a durable solution for erosion protection. High strength non-woven geotextile former is used to provide the shape and form. Depending upon the design requirements and specific application, cables can be incorporated in the fabric form.
