Terracing: This method involves cutting a series of successively receding flat platforms or steps into the slope, which reduce the rate of water runoff and help control erosion. Terracing is particularly effective in hilly areas where it can also enhance the aesthetic appeal and usability of the landscape.
Retaining Walls: Constructing retaining walls is another effective strategy to hold back soil and prevent the downslope movement due to gravity. We design and build various types of retaining walls, including gravity, cantilevered, and anchored walls, depending on the specific needs and geology of the site.
Geotextiles and Erosion Control Blankets: We also employ biodegradable mats, which are designed to prevent soil erosion and help establish vegetation on vulnerable slopes. These are especially useful in areas where vegetation needs a helping hand to get established.
Importance of Slope Stabilization: Stabilizing slopes is crucial not only to prevent loss of soil but also to safeguard the structures above or below the slopes. Proper slope management ensures long-term site sustainability and safety, reducing the risk of landslides and other soil-related issues.
Silt Fences: These are permeable fabric barriers installed around the perimeter of construction sites to trap sediment while allowing water to flow through. They are a simple yet effective first line of defense against sediment migration from the site.
Sediment Basins: We construct temporary ponds or basins that capture runoff and allow sediment to settle before the water exits the site. These basins are designed based on the volume of expected runoff and are crucial in larger or more complex project sites.
Stormwater Management Systems: Beyond sediment control, managing the overall stormwater on a site is crucial. We design and implement comprehensive stormwater management systems that not only handle sediment but also manage the volume and rate of runoff, preventing flooding and erosion downstream.
Compliance with Regulations: Our sediment control practices are designed to comply with all local, state, and federal environmental regulations. By staying compliant, we not only protect the environment but also help our clients avoid potential legal and financial penalties.
