To reduce the risks of erosion from wave-lap, currents and scouring to the bank of waterways, we can construct a few different natural sustainable solutions with bio-engineering revetments such as pre-planted coir rolls and hazel faggot revetment.
In addition, we can also offer a more conventional engineering solution such as weld mesh and stone revetment, green oak, Nicospan geotextile revetment, gabion baskets, sheet piles.
All these can be used to reinstate the banks that have already eroded or slipped or even create a new bank within a watercourse. With these methods we try to ‘soften’ the hard engineering edge with a greener option by using the pre-planted coir rolls or oak waling boards to the front of the structure.
