Mesh is the containment system we use for most of our applications. The mesh or ‘soxx’ as they are called in the field, are simply knitted, woven, or extruded textiles in various opening sizes, diameters and patterns that achieve performance criteria for the intended function. For instance, our Diversion Soxx focus on holding dense soil media to assist with flood control and diversion of flood waters.

The Bank stabilization technology provides structural protection, erosion control, vegetation growth, and vegetation reinforcement in one system. The Bank stabilization weight and anchoring system can withstand storm runoff velocities and hydraulic shear stresses similar to traditional soft armoring devices (brush mattresses, coconut fiber logs, turf reinforcement mats), while the injected GrowingMedia and optional drip tape irrigational system ensure establishment and sustainability of both seeded and live stake plantings.

The Bank stabilization vegetated armoring system is specifically designed to establish and reinforce vegetation under intense hydraulic pressure. Once permanent vegetation is established in the Bank stabilization system the following management parameters are enhanced:

• structural stability and protection from toe cutting and sloughing of waterway bank
• structural stability and protection from mass wasting and sloughing of shoreline from wave action
• control of erosion from overland runoff, wave action, and shear stress from concentrated flows
• control of runoff velocity flowing to receiving water
• dissipation of runoff energy flowing to receiving water
• sustained vegetation health
• sediment, soluble pollutant, and pathogen removal efficiency of runoff flowing to receiving water.

Filtrexx provides structural protection, erosion control, vegetation growth, and vegetation reinforcement in one system. The Bank stabilization weight and anchoring system can withstand storm run-off velocities and hydraulic shear stresses similar to traditional soft armouring devices (brush mattresses, coconut fibre logs, turf reinforcement mats), while the injected growing media ensures establishment and sustainability of both seeded and live stake plantings. Once permanent vegetation is established in the Bank stabilization system the following management parameters are enhanced:
