When you’re looking for an alternative to, say, traditional rip rap or gabions for erosion control, scour protection, or shoreline stabilization, you may find yourself considering precast articulating concrete blocks […]
Moving water—the flow of a river current, the surge of an ocean wave, even simply ephemeral runoff, sheetwash, and rilling during an intense cloudburst—is the Earth’s signature erosive agent. Hydraulic […]
Are you looking to prevent and control erosion along drainage ditches, upper channel slopes, outfalls, embankments, or any number of other surfaces that can be ravaged by runoff, current scour, […]
Rip rap refers to angular stones or boulders installed by hand or machine to buffer against wave action and river scouring and dissipate and resist hydraulic energy. To get around […]
The HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete solutions we offer at Synthetex provide an easy-to-install, incredibly versatile, and completely customizable solution for permanent erosion and scour protection and prevention. It’s a highly efficient […]
