Hydraulic reservoirs, waterways and canals
require protection against erosion, undermining and silting.
Various alternatives may be
used, but the correct choice must take into account technical and financial issues and
follow careful assessment and calculation.
Anti-erosion biodegradable blankets and sediment retainers are efficient to protect
canals, waterways and hydraulic reservoirs.
The Sintemax Screen® 400TF has a 6 psf or 29 kg/m² drag force tensile strength and
may be used sucessfully in this application.
. 1. Eroded waterway slope next to a
Hydroelectric Plant Powerhouse building site, requiring protection.
2. Same site now protected with highly resistant and durable anti-erosion
biodegradable blankets, showing the recovered and protected slope.
3. Same site, demonstrating protection efficiency and lush vegetation.
. 1. Completely silted waterway;
beginning of recovery, silt removal and protection.
2. Operations at an advanced stage; end stage of silt removal and margin
protection with Bermalonga® D40 type sediment retainers.
3. Fully recovered and protected waterway showing product efficienty and
safety, which will avoid further silt accumulation and undermining.
