Stream
reconstruction using bioengineering techniques is the latest
technology. We supply and install all of these materials including
coir (coconut) fiber biologs, coir blankets and mats, wattles, live
stakes and cuttings. We also provide all related excavation, sediment
removal, rock structure construction, gabion installation and rock
mattress installation.
The image to the left shows a longitudinal rock protection made up of R6 rock and a bendway weir projecting out into the middle of the stream made up of large boulders. These two structures are designed to prevent the stream from eroding its banks at times of high flow. This picture was taken during work on Tacony Creek in Philadelphia PA.
Representative project experience:
Developed
and implemented a stream bank restoration and stabilization workplan
for sections of Bushkill Creek, Dingman's Falls and the Delaware River
within the Delaware Water Gap in eastern PA.
Restored
the banks of a section of Tacony Creek in Philadelphia PA that had been
eroding and threatening to expose city infastructure.
Restored a stream that had been contaminated and remediated at a superfund site in Srewsbury, Massachusetts.
Installed
gabions and bioengineering material for the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission as part of the Mon Valley Expressway Project.
Installed forested floodplain vegetation on 5 miles of the Roanoke River banks, Roanoke, Virginia.
Installed biologs and planted a tidal inlet at a hazardous waste site in Salisbury, Maryland.
Complete restoration of 500 feet of severely eroded bank, Slippery Rock Creek, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.
