Many erosion control projects call for multiple applications. Can you guess which were used in this installation?

Installation Using Multiple Applications 

Many erosion control projects call for multiple applications. This project is an example of just that. 

 

Slope Prepared for the Application of HBSA

This slope has been prepared to have Hydraulic Biotic Soil Amendment (HBSA) applied to it. 

 

 

Vegetated Slope after HBSA

After Hydraulic Biotic Soil Amendment was applied, the vegetation was readily established.

 TRM reinforces vegetation on a landfill cover

Vegetated Landfill Cap

TRMs were used to help establish and stabilize vegetation on a landfill cap.

 SRFRs used on a golf course for protected wetland

Sediment Retention Devices were installed to protect wetlands that are on a golf course.

Biotic Soil Amendment Application

Biotic Soil Amendment (BSA) and Erosion Control Blankets (ECBs) are installed. Biotic Soil Amendments improve the quality of the soil to provide for better vegetation establishment.

Coir RECP Repair of a Streambank
 
Coir RECP was Used to Repair a Shoreline

A coconut rolled erosion control product (RECP) was used to protect an eroded shoreline. This area of the shoreline was repaired on a previous occasion.

   Rolled Erosion Control Blanket (RECP) and Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (Wattles) are both used in this InstallationRECP / SRFR Slope Installation

Both RECPs and SRFRs were used on this erosion control installation project. Erosion control blankets were installed on the hillside and used sediment retention fiber rolls for slope interruption.

High-Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat Used to Provide long-term slope Stability
