Riverbank Stabilisation Solutions
Riverbank Stabilisation Solutions Using Terralock
Water movement is the biggest cause of natural erosion. When a river flows fast, even faster in a flood or weather event, this process is accelerated. Sometimes irreversible damage is caused to a river or waterway eco system.
Apart from the obvious loss of the land itself these events can cause damage to natural ecosystems through sediment they can also further weaken the natural structure of the land making it more vulnerable to future events and so the cycle continues.
TerraLock is a proven riverbank stabilisation solution and is very effective for sediment control. It has been used to strengthen riverbanks, creeks, estuaries, stormwater systems, lake and pond edges and even used in levees and stopbanks for nearly 20 years. Because it is so quick and easy to install and there is no heavy machinery required, areas with difficult access can be reinforced with TerraLock that would otherwise be left to the elements.
Live Staking or Brush Layering allows for larger plants/trees to be grown through the wall and back into the bank. This means the plants root structure becomes part of the wall mass, further strengthening the wall itself, making it a very environmentally-friendly solution. TerraLock can also be hydroseeded.
Riverbank Stabilisation Solutions with TerraLock
Riverbank erosion is a natural process exacerbated by fast-moving water, especially during floods or extreme weather. These events can cause significant damage to ecosystems, accelerate soil erosion, and increase the vulnerability of the land to future disasters. TerraLock offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for riverbank stabilisation, helping to prevent further erosion and protect vital ecosystems.
Why Choose TerraLock for Riverbank Stabilisation?
TerraLock is an ideal choice for riverbank stabilisation due to its quick installation and adaptability to challenging environments. Used successfully for nearly 20 years, TerraLock has reinforced riverbanks, estuaries, stormwater systems, and even levees. Its ability to integrate vegetation through live staking or brush layering ensures natural reinforcement, reducing the risk of future erosion while promoting ecological restoration.
