Erosion Control for Rivers and Canals

Rely on Synthetex to manufacture a custom-made erosion control solution for a river, canal, or inland waterway project.

Rivers and canals are susceptible to erosion at their embankments and underwater, so they require an erosion control system that will help stop significant soil loss before it has an impact on the environment.

HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattresses are the most effective choice for erosion control at these structures, providing a permanent solution from the smallest streams to interstate rivers. We can manufacture fabric forms for permanent embankment protection and concrete canal lining.

Why is HYDROTEX the top choice for your river and canal project?

HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete can be installed both on land and underwater, making it the top solution for municipal authorities and land owners who need to protect a river or canal from erosion.

A HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress such as Filter Point or Enviromat FX will prevent embankment failure and ensure the underwater ecosystem is minimally altered.

Aside from being easy to access, HYDROTEX is simpler to transport than rip rap or prefabricated concrete blocks, making it the better choice for protecting rivers and canals.

Why is erosion control at rivers and canals important?

Human pressure, unsustainable use and floods and droughts driven by changes in climate all have negative effects on rivers.

Inhabitation of floodplain areas, hydropower use, navigation, gravel, and sand extraction lead to changes in morphology, pollution, degradation of aquatic habitats and conflicts with land use. The most pressures in a river basin occur along river corridors, compromising the sustainable water and riparian land use.

All of these concerns have encouraged waterway administrations to properly maintain and improve rivers, canals, and waterways for efficient inland navigation. Their focus remains on preserving and protecting these waterways as natural habitats.

Synthetex supports waterway administrations in achieving a common level of services for embankment stabilization and erosion protection along these waterways and their tributaries.
