Erosion Control
Erosion Control in Lincoln, NE
Erosion causes costly issues for homes and businesses alike. without proper safety measures in place, your property can fall victim to this dangerous natural phenomenon. Here at Lincoln Winwater, we are proud to offer our clients a variety of solutions that will keep you and your property as safe as possible. Learn more about the various options you have available and the unique benefits of each in our detailed breakdown below.
The Benefits of the Most Popular Erosion Control Products
Erosion Control Blanket
Applications: These blankets are best suited for slope stabilizations, soil reinforcement, supporting in channels, bare ground seeding, channel erosion control and land restoration products. They can be used on slopes up to 2:1.
Benefits:
- Prevents soil erosion from rainfall
- Prevents erosion from channel flow
- Retains moisture in soil
Straw Wattle
Applications: Straw wattle is popular for silt checks, stream stablization, inlet protection, drain protection and bank stabilization.
Benefits:
- All Natural and Biodegradable
- Eliminate contamination for storm drains/inlets
- Effective filtration
Non-Woven Geotextiles
Applications: These fabrics are designed to filter soil from drainage and stabalize roadways. They are popular for subsurface drainage, hard armor underlayment, landfill lechate collection, underground detention/retention systems, and roadway separation.
Benefits:
- Reduce soil infiltration
- Available in a wide variety of strengths and applications
Woven Geotextiles
Applications: Woven geotextiles are made to distribute loads evenly to reduce ruts and provide a high strength sediment barrier. They are best for unpaved and paved roads as well as sediment control hard armor underlayment.
Benefits:
- High tensile strengths at low elongation
- Resistant to oil and clogging
- Available in a wide variety of strengths and applications
Bi-axial Geogrids
Applications: These geogrids are beneficial for applications when the subgrade is unstable for roadway applications. They can take stress in two directions as well.
Benefits:
- Withstands stressors in two directions
- Contains and stabilizes unstable soils
- Cost benefits through reduced aggregate thickness/sub grade materials
- Increases road service life
- Stabilize pipe trench in unstable soils reducing aggregate bedding
Silt Fence
Applications: This form of woven geotextile is effective in controlling sediment runoff from construction sites.
Benefits:
- Retains sediment on jobsite
- Filters runoff before leaving the site
- Helps prevent erosion
- Available with or without stakes
Turf Reinforcement
Applications: Long-term erosion protection on slopes and in channels.
Benefits:
- Provides a permanent solution for vegetation growth
- Resilient against high stress
- ASTM tested
Erosion Control Products We Offer
Here are some of the most common erosion control products that we sell. Though they have different approaches, each item can be incredibly successful at the right application. If you are unsure what item is best for your particular job, contact us and we will be happy to help guide you.
- Silt Fence
- Straw Wattles
These wattles are long, man-made tubes of straw that are installed in trenches along a slope. They create a barrier that prevents water from streaming agressively down the slope and causing intense erosion.
- Erosion Control Blanket
Made from either man-made or completely natural materials, erosion control blankets are laid on slopes for rainfall protection. They are an excellent way to minimize runoff.
- Geo-Textile Fabric
Geo-textile fabrics are commonly used to control erosion near roads, pipelines and slopes. These fabrics can be open weave or closed weave based on the application and are very versatile because of it.
- Inlet Filters
Water must have a way to run off roads to prevent dangerous conditions for drivers as well as flooding and erosion. Inlet filters can filter the immense amount of water that goes through these often curb-based systems and keep them running smoothly in even the heaviest of storms.
- Soil Stabilization
Soil itself can be made more stable and resistant to erosion. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, from mixing certain materials into the soil, like cement, to planting different varieties of organic material that will lay down strong root systems to hold things in place. We can help you find a soil stabilization method that fits your specific job best.
