Erosion control products give engineers ready solutions for one of the fastest-growing design niches. Many of these products work with vegetation to form a biocomposite solution to erosion. The charts in this section are divided into degradable rolled erosion control products (RECPs), nondegradable RECPs and hard armor. Degradable products are used to enhance the establishment of vegetation, such as on a rehabilitated lakeshore or alongside a recently constructed roadway. These products are used where vegetation alone will provide sufficient site protection once the erosion control product has degraded. Nondegradable products provide long-term reinforcement of vegetation. They are used in more challenging erosion control applications where immediate, high-performance erosion protection is required. The materials extend the erosion resistance of soil, rock and other materials by permanently reinforcing the vegetative root structure. Companies that submitted product data chart lines were asked to provide data determined through industry-accepted testing methods. Companies were asked to sign a certificate of compliance verifying the accuracy of this data. |
