The Importance of Scour Protection for Offshore Wind Farms
Offshore wind farms—the first of which was constructed in Denmark back in 1991—continue to dramatically increase in number and geographic extent. By 2050, it’s estimated that global offshore wind energy […]
Why You Must Have Proper Scour Protection at Cruise or Container Ship Ports and Maritime Terminals
It goes without saying that cruise and container ship terminals are logistically challenging maritime environments, given the size and design of the vessels involved and the magnitude of ship traffic. […]
How Synthetex Can Help With Developing a Mining Erosion & Sediment Control Plan
As concern about the limited supply and carbon footprint of fossil fuels mounts, the world is seeing a major energy transition underway, with shifts toward renewable sources such as hydropower, […]
The Importance of Proper Coal Ash Storage & How Synthetex Can Help
Recent moves by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) underscore the importance of properly storing coal ash, that byproduct of burning coal, to safeguard waterways, aquifers, ecosystems, and human health. As […]
Bridge Abutments & Why They Require Scour Protection

How HYDROTEX Products Help With Contaminated Sediment
The containment of contaminated sediment ranks among the most pressing concerns in industrialized shoreline environments. For the integrity of aquatic ecosystems and for human health and safety alike, sealing off […]
Shoreline Stabilization Techniques to Control Erosion
Whether it’s the storm surf or the more subtle but relentless bite of breaking waves, propeller wash, and tidal action, shorelines take a continuous beating at the interface of land […]
Precast Articulating Concrete Blocks vs. Synthetex’s Articulated Block System
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 […]
How to Combat Erosion & Scour Using Articulating Concrete Block Mats
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 […]
Tied Concrete Block Mats vs. Synthetex’s Enviromat FX
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, […]
Say Goodbye to Grouted Rip Rap
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 […]
