Geotextile Applications

Permanent Erosion Control

A geotextile can help to mitigate the negative impact of soil erosion. Wind and water erosion can be absolutely devastating to property. Sometimes the erosion happens very quickly and catastrophically due to a major storm event such as a hurricane or tropical storm. More often, it develops slowly as the ocean's tide, the current of a river, or years of storm water runoff work with time to eat away at land and property with similarly devastating results.

  • Reduce Property Loss
  • Standardized Specifications
The choice comes down to controlling the soil erosion before it takes place or dealing with the aftermath. Since failing to address potential erosion areas in advance can lead to loss of property, time and money, the most effective approach is to stop the erosion before it starts. That's where a geotextile can be helpful.

Most governmental agencies have methods and specifications developed for permanent erosion control. These often include utilizing a geotextile.
