Overview
What is Erosion Control?
Erosion control is the practice of preventing or reducing water or wind erosion in highway embankments, land development, coastal areas, and site construction as well as lining slopes for reservoirs, storm water ponds and irrigation channels.
Applications of Erosion Control
Strata’s incline solutions help slope erosion by effectively confining the upper infill along the slope. Strata’s slope erosion system can be used on very steep slopes (as steep as 60 degrees) and provides a cost-effective solution compared to alternatives such as stone pitching. The system provides multiple infill options such as vegetative soil, concrete, crushed stone or debris, sand, and practically any locally available material based on the outer finish required. When a geomembrane liner is used and cannot be punctured, StrataWeb® is a perfect system to protect the liner and the slope. It can be laid on the liner without any requirement for puncturing and is anchored at the crest of the slope. Strata’s system includes all accessories required to lay and anchor the slope – StrataLock®, StrataFast®, and StrataCord®.

StrataWeb® geocells for slope erosion protection at railway embankment
In this project, the Railways Authority in India was seeking a technically advanced and fast solution forslope erosion protectionof a railway embankment. The erosion protection measures were mandatory to ensure the protection of the rail tracks.
StrataWeb® geocells – A slope erosion protection system for embankments
The Jordan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) was planning to build a petroleum strategic reserves terminal in the east of Amman, Jordan. They wanted to increase the petroleum storage capacity in the area, which required an increase in the base width of the embankment. The slopes of the embankment required protection from slope erosion.
Afforesting the concrete jungle on rooftop using StrataWeb®
Green roofs have become a growing roofing option with the increased desire for high-performance buildings, sustainable building products, and an attractive appearance. Green roofs slow down the water flow by retaining up to 75% of the rainwater, thus alleviating the pressure on stormwater infrastructures. When soil erodes, especially during harsh weather conditions, the slope can get damaged. For this case, the client wanted to have a high–performance rooftop for a residential property that could withstand the adverse weather conditions and give an aesthetic look.
