 Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 1 of 8. Pictured: erosion due to pedestrian and boat traffic, before installation of StabiliGrid.
Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 2 of 8. Pictured: Close-up image of erosion due to pedestrian and boat traffic, before installation of StabiliGrid.
Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 3 of 8. Pictured: Step 1 of 4, DIY installation of StabiliGrid - laying the grids.
Topic: Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 4 of 8. Pictured: Step 2 - trimming StabiliGrid in place, using a rotary power saw or a hand saw.
Topic: Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 5 of 8. Pictured: Step 3 - pre-vegetation backfilling of reinforced riverbanks with topsoil.
Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 6 of 8. Pictured: overview of the prepared and installed StabiliGrid reinforcing the riverbank to prevent erosion; this diagram shows the pre-vegetation, topsoil-backfilled reinforced riverbank.
Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 7 of 8. Pictured: overview of the installed StabiliGrid reinforcing the riverbank to prevent erosion; this diagram shows the steeply-sloped river bank shortly after germination of the vegetative reinforcment. The deep root zone development of the vegetated, reinforced bank surface will strengthen over time.
Low impact erosion control, river banks, Image 8 of 8. Pictured: Side view of the installed StabiliGrid reinforcing the riverbank to prevent erosion; this diagram shows the steeply-sloped river bank shortly after germination of the vegetive reinforcment. As the vegetated groundcover develops, the slope-reinforcement elements will be hidden beneath the above ground vegetation, while the deep roots will strengthen the structure across time, preventing the decay of the erosion-prevention structure and sytem.
