Slope protection, bank stabilisation and geotextile work for ground that moves when it rains.
In a country where a week of monsoon can drop a third of a metre of rain, a bare slope is a slope that is leaving. Planting alone will not hold it in the first season, because the roots are not there yet and that is exactly when the water arrives.
What the work involves
- Geotextile and erosion control matting pinned to hold soil while roots establish
- Slope regrading to an angle the ground will actually keep
- Cut-off drains above the slope, which stop more soil loss than anything on it
- Deep-rooting species and vetiver on the face, planted through the matting
- Bank protection where water runs against the toe of a slope
Used on pond banks, embankments, resort hillsides and any site where cut and fill has left a face steeper than the soil wants to stand at.
