Slope Erosion Control
Geonets 131 along with Non-woven Geotextile are ideally suited for erosion control of slopes. Installed on the surface of slopes, along with top soil for vegetation growth; they prevent soil erosion by retarding the velocity of water run-off with its three dimensional profile. They then promote water percolation in soil as well as for growth of natural vegetation. Once the vegetation is established on the slope surface, the girds act as permanent reinforcing medium for grassroots This helps in generation of dense grass cover by preventing the roots from washout even in adverse weather conditions
Gabions for Coastal Erosion Control or Waterfront Protection
Due to extensive wave action, sea coasts / river banks are susceptible to heavy erosion and scouring. It is essential to break up the waves and control erosion. Gabion application helps in the break up and absorption of wave energy. This gradually leads to the process of silting and consequently offers permanent solution to the erosion problem.
Gabions and Mattresses for Waterfront Protection are easily constructed at site. This can be done in various sizes by fabricating a box like structure from the Geogrid roll (ready made netting) with jointing being done with polymer ropes. The box structure is filled with stones and the top-flap closed and braided.
