Coastal erosion is a highly sensitive contemporary environmental issue.<\/h2>\n

Reinforced Earth technology has been used for over 40 years to build marine structures on coastlines.\u202fThe\u202fdesign and selection of construction materials used in marine environments must address the risks inherent in this special environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Projects <\/span><\/a><\/div>

Reinforced Earth\u00ae solutions<\/a>\u202fare naturally suited for coastal works such as breakwaters<\/a>, channels, slipways,\u202fseawalls\u202fand more due its primary characteristics, particularly resilience to dynamic loads.\u202fOur industrially-manufactured geosynthetics, and in some cases steel soil reinforcements enable\u202frefined structural geometrics and cross-sections by integrating custom curated components.\u202fReinforced Earth\u00ae structures<\/a> incorporate quality backfill materials which guarantee sufficient drainage, specifically for structures that are prone to high-amplitude tides or storm surges.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n

The combined forces of water and water borne debris require special attention when designing structures in coastal areas.\u202fTerraDyke™<\/a> is a custom-made, state-of-the-art technique developed as a protective structure for coastal and marine works.\u202f<\/a>TerraDyke™<\/a> structures are used as core for breakwaters,\u202fgroynes\u202fand spurs. Geotextile tubes are a part of this technology in which hydraulic fill or dredged spoil is pumped into these structures often to replace the\u202farmors\u202fas cores.\u202fTerraDyke™<\/a> structure aprons and anti-scour structures are efficient in protection from underwater currents and\u202fwash-outs.\u202f<\/p>\n

TechRevetment™<\/a> is a corrosion-free, formed concrete mattress erosion control <\/a>solution designed to replace conventional\u202frip-raps\u202for wet stone pitching. This system is often used on slopes to construct boulder or soil in-filled semi-rigid crates and large bags to prevent\u202fwaterfront\u202finduced erosion<\/a>. The integral\u202fbehavior\u202fand monolithic containment of the structure provides an efficient erosion control<\/a> tool for protection against flash floods, moderate wave attacks and run-ups.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Structural flexibility<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Structural flexibility<\/h3>\n

Inherant characterisitcs of Reinforced Earth\u00ae allow to build structures on moderately compact or heterogeneous foundation soils.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Designed to resist <\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Designed to resist <\/h3>\n

Our\u00a0 Reinforced Earth\u00ae structures are designed to resist the combined forces of water and waterborne debris. Built to withstand strong currents, storms, and waves, which can be highly destructive to other types of structures, Reinforced Earth\u00ae is a safe choice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rapid construction<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Rapid construction<\/h3>\n

The use of precast components allows for faster construction and better control than conventional cast-in-place solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
