Erosion Case Study: Inland Waterway Project

Project Implementation and Results

The project began with a thorough site assessment to understand soil conditions and water flow patterns. The design incorporated BaseCore HD 4″ geocell and geotextile fabric, secured with rebar and tendons. The installation process involved clearing debris, placing the geotextile fabric, deploying and securing the geocells, and filling them with soil and aggregate. This setup was compacted and finished with a layer of aggregate. The geocell system significantly reduced erosion, improved soil stability, and enhanced load-bearing capacity, ensuring the banks could withstand environmental conditions and water flow.

Project Outcomes and Future Implications

The project achieved its goals of preventing erosion, enhancing durability, and protecting the local environment. The geocell system required minimal maintenance, offering long-term cost savings. Feedback from the community and regulatory bodies was positive, highlighting enhanced safety and environmental protection. The successful use of BaseCore products in this project suggests their potential for similar applications, promoting sustainable and resilient infrastructure development in challenging environments.
