INTRODUCTION
Slopes present serious erosion control challenges which occur when rain and wind disturb civil grade soil and imported topsoil. Erosion control solutions for challenges facing slopes are designed to be a barrier on the soil surface preventing terrestrial and aquatic sediment pollution.

The EnviroGrid cellular confinement system (geocell) is produced from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and has three dimensional cells that contain, confine and reinforce a variety of fill materials including native fill, topsoil, granular or concrete. This material has excellent resistance to...
Rolled Erosion Control Blankets provide soil erosion protection and assist in the establishment of vegetation on moderate slopes or low-flow channel applications where loose mulches or bare-ground seeding are not effective. Nilex carries a variety of Erosion Control Blankets including...
PP5-Xtreme is a High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat System (HP-TRM) or Anchored Reinforced Vegetated System (ARVS) built with continuous synthetic threads in a proprietary weaving process that yields a three-dimensional material with no lamination or stitching. It has outstanding strength...
HydroTurf is an engineered revetment solution specifically designed to provide armoring of hydraulic structures against high velocity and shear stress. It offers the aesthetics of vegetation combined with better performance than traditional hard armor. It is also significantly less costly than...
Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) provide immediate erosion protection and long-term site armoring. TRMs assist in the establishment of vegetation while permanently reinforcing vegetation for applications where the forces exerted by water exceed the shear limits of unreinforced vegetation. Typical...
SUGAR CREEK EROSION PROTECTION
Sugar Creek is a tributary to South Platte River — a Gold Medal Western trout river on the Eastern Slope of Colorado. This environmentally sensitive area was experiencing sediment laden discharge from a nearby roadway…
