Slope Protection / Erosion Control

FlexBlox is ideal for protecting channels exposed to severe erosive conditions while maintaining natural permea- bility. When strategically integrated with conventional protection materials such as concrete, aggregate, rip-rap and vegetation, FlexBlox’s intrinsic tensile network improves their performance under hydraulic stress. 

In areas of low to moderate intermittent flows such as ditches and swales, the system’s open architecture allows roots to grow in all directions throughout the matrix for greater vegetative lock-up and stability against short-term flow events. 

Auxiliary cabling/tendons may be incorporated to provide additional stability against gravitational and hydrodynamic forces.
