River bed and bank protection

Meder és partvédelem alkalmazás

The surface of the banks around rivers, lakes and other watercourses can be badly eroded by waves, continuous current and sediment movements, which can easily lead to wash-outs and therefore ruining of the bank. The stability of the river bank can be retained by either full or part erosion control under the water level. Some erosion control mats and geocells make it possible to use the same erosion control geosynthetic on both wet and dry slopes.

Recommended geosynthetics as solution to problem concerning the application field:

Temporary or permanent bank protection with surface load layer

Recommended geosynthetic Function of the geosynthetic
Separation Filtration Erosion control
  • High water permeability
  • Solid material retention capability
  • High strength against mechanical effects of the load layer and water movements

Creating erosion control of river banks for both under and above water level in one step using the same geosynthetic layer

Recommended geosynthetic Function of the geosynthetic
  • Enkamat flatback erosion control mat
  • Armater geocell
Erosion control
  • Prevention of wash-outs due to wind and rainfall with soil filling
  • Prevention of wash-outs due to water movement and waves with rock filling
  • Aids plantation of vegetation

Immediate river bank and river bed protection in case of high current rivers, streams; provides settlement of vegetation

Recommended geosynthetic Function of the geosynthetic
  • Enkamat A erosion control mat
 Erosion control
  • Immediate protection against high currents
  • Provides settlement of the vegetation
