The key to erosion control is the protection of the upper soil layer against wind and rain and increasing the shear force between the soil layers. The installation of erosion control mats, geocells, providing immediate protection, is a proved method to reach the desired results. The erosion control effect can be increased by planting vegetation layer. If the slope surface structure is too loose and not fit for steel fixing pin installation then slope protection can be assured by special, strengthened mat fixed at the top anchor trench. In case of steep slopes retaining walls can be built by using uniaxial geogrids, which provides natural green surfaces.
