Steep slopes and embankments create numerous challenges both during construction and long term. Although they are necessary for efficiency of land use, you may find yourself dealing with problems due to one or more of the following: Erosion due to over land flow Lack of healthy vegetation Poor drainage Over steepening TerraFirm Anchoring Systems offers [...]
Terraweb® is a light-weight, flexible, polyethylene confinement system consisting of three-dimensional cells in a honeycomb-like structure. Terraweb® creates an economical erosion barrier or structural foundation. Applications include: Ground stabilization for temporary/ permanent roads Terraweb® is effective in distributing applied loads over a large surface. It significantly reduces pressure applied to the subgrade by loads exerted [...]
SILTSACK® is a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent clogging of catch basins. SILTSACK® is a sediment control device used to prevent silt and sediment from entering your drainage system. SILTSACK® traps the silt / sediment but allows water to pass into the sewer. SILTSACK® can be used as a primary or secondary sediment control [...]
terrafix® Silt Curtains are designed to deflect and contain sediment within a designated area. Manufactured from high strength geotextiles and fabricated to a variety of sizes. Silt Curtains are used to provide protection for a watercourse from land disturbance or from dredging or filling within the watercourse. Placed in a water body, they minimize sediment migration from a [...]
Meter bags can be used as a temporary dam to enclose a work area and permit the removal of water. Meter bags have 4 lifting hoops sewn directly into each corner seam, which are also sewn together with the main body fabric for extra strength. They are made of high strength woven polypropelene. They can [...]
Benefits and features of RECPs Reduce run off. Consistent quality and performance. Retain more water than hydro mulch covers. Reduce sediment concentration and soil loss. Excellent performance in strength and durable under high velocities. Vegetation performs better with blankets than with hydro mulches. Ease of installation. Application of RECPs Erosion control blankets are used to [...]
terrafix® Coir Mats and Coir Logs are made of pure coconut husk fiber-100% natural, organic, biodegradable and safe to wildlife. Coir Mats are more flexible than matting made from bristle coir fiber. This characteristic allows Coir Mats to interface with the soil surface. Coir fiber is durable and strong, with the right properties for being [...]
Four basic functions are defined for the geotextile: Filtration Separation Drainage Reinforcement Filtration Filtration functions to restrict the migration of fine soil particles from a soil mass while remaining permeable to water movement greater than, or at least equivalent to the permeability of the protected soil. Drainage Water is conveyed along the path of the [...]
