Rivers, Lakes and Channels - Shallow Revetments <35º - Medium Erosion Risk <3m/s

Enkamat provides good root anchorage in a green stormwater channel for high velocity flows. See Eco 49B.
Cronic erosion of a vegetated vertical bank is reversed using Macmat R behind driven posts. See Eco 50B.
Degradation of banks by grazing wild fowl will require changes in bird management and reinforced new banks. See Eco 54.

Enkamat A20 being lifted and rolled out into the bank. See Eco 48.
