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

Geomac is immediately robust and green, which allows the high energy river to flow over the newly installed unit. See Eco 37B.
The high erosion on the the outside bend of the river bank can be protected with the Geomac system that also delivers a lasting green result. See Eco 37B.
This new river revetment of high ecological value is derived from a robust stone mattress - a
1440 m² of Enkamat A20 regenerates the reed margin in a medium risk erosion zone. See Eco 48.
A Geomac system provides high energy erosion protection and ecological value to the outside bend of the river. See Eco 37B.

Where there is a high erosion risk >3m/s, and an agressive condition that requires a green result. Maccaferri would recommend revetment support that permits vegetation to thrive. Solutions and products that may be specified are listed below.
