Webinar Overview:

Erosion is a common challenge that poses risk and costly damage to infrastructure and the environment. Knowing the best solution to use is key to getting the desired performance results.

Our panel of experts "get the dirt’ on erosion management and two of the highest performing hard armoring technologies on the market aimed at cutting carbon emissions while simultaneously delivering long-term erosion protection and cost savings.

We discussed:

  • Erosion management of earthen structures.

  • Vegetative and non-vegetative hard armoring solutions designed to protect channels, spillways, slopes, embankments, and outfalls.

  • Comparisons to other conventional and non-conventional solutions.

  • Guidelines for installation.

  • Relevant project profiles detailing the challenges faced and the selected solution.
