Water is immensely powerful and can quickly erode banks causing undercutting, collapse and subsidence. Even small waterways are not immune to this problem, with the smallest stream quickly turning into a rushing torrent of water in a flood.
Erosion control can take many forms and AquaServe UK have specialised and promoted soft engineering solutions including the use of coir, Nicospan geotextile and bank remediation to remediate damaged bank and engineer water flows and to ensure that the watercourse can continue to function as a biodiverse habitat.
An early intervention is always more economical and gives more options to remediate and manage eroded banks as erosion has the potential to cause significant, expensive, and lasting damage.
