Erosion Protection: Embankments & Cuttings

Gabions stabilising the slope on the main Glasgow to Edinburgh Link.
Armater supports an engineered slope and is easy to use in difficult to access sites. See Eco 47.
10,000 sq. metres of Enkamat were installed to cover the cliff top. Top soil and seed were added to create a grassland area. See Eco 7B.
Enkamat open applied to a thin vulnerable layer of topsoil provides initial erosion protection and later a good rootzone anchorage for a safe long term grass guard. See Eco 7B.
Rockfall Netting stabilises the cliff face at Browns Bay.

The need for ever-steeper slopes, whether for the creation of road or rail infrastructure corridors, or a new retail development, can lead to erosion problems.

Where a natural vegetated slope is required, simply placing top soil on the slope is often not sufficient and topsoil layers are seen slumped at the base of newly constructed slopes. Erosion mats and soil cells provide a cost-effective method of retaining both soil and moisture, thereby promoting sustainable vegetation for long-term erosion protection.

On rock slopes, where loss of rock fragments from the face is the prime concern, wire mesh solutions are usually the most appropriate.

The steepness of the slope will effect the solution chosen. Select the steepness of your slope that you want to protect;
