EROSION

While soil erosion has taken place since the beginning of time, modernization and commercial land development has placed new levels of strain on our earth’s natural resources.  We strive to protect our world’s ecosystem for future generations

 

Soil erosion is a serious environmental threat and a major contributor to the degradation of water quality. Wind, rain and runoff displace soil particles from bare or sparsely covered earth, potentially reducing the stability of the original site and impairing the performance of downstream drainage systems.

In many instances, SRWs are a cost-effective solution to eroding soil. Keystone walls are often used as part of conservation efforts along channels and waterways, near steep earthen slopes, and in other critical applications. By combining retaining wall units with soil reinforcement, the reinforced soil mass can support greater earth pressure and surcharge loads.

The result is a long-term, economical solution that minimizes or eliminates soil erosion.
