Erosion Control for Municipal Water and Wastewater Facilities
Detention ponds, retention ponds, and other municipal water structures will be protected from erosion with a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress.
Approved for use in a wide range of municipalities, counties, and cities both in the United States and abroad, the HYDROTEX line of fabric-formed concrete mattresses is an apt solution for erosion control at wastewater management facilities.
There are several different types of system designs for lagoons, including ponds, reservoirs, and basins. Lagoon systems include one or more ponds or basins designed to receive, hold, and treat wastewater for a predetermined length of time.
HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattresses prevent erosion of the lagoon’s banks from wind generated waves and the growth of long grass and weeds that block wind and provide breeding areas for flies, mosquitoes, and other insects.
Why is HYDROTEX the top choice for your water and wastewater project?
HYDROTEX is a permanent erosion control solution that requires little maintenance after installation. Roadside detention ponds, retention ponds, and geomembranes in wastewater treatment plants all require protection from erosion and damage. However, we understand that municipal authorities and maintenance managers don’t want to look after the upkeep of erosion control systems at their facilities.
Banish these worries with a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress. The geosynthetic panels are custom-manufactured with the required thickness. Once the double-walled geosynthetic fabric is pumped with fine aggregate concrete, it creates a permanent concrete mattress that can be flexible, permeable, and resistant to both hydraulic and erosive forces. It is superior to rip-rap, prefabricated concrete blocks, and gabions.
