Overview
Erosion control is defined as: “The use of a Typar product to prevent soil or other particle movements at the surface of a slope.
The erosion process is part of the geological cycle, a natural phenomenon, wherein water and wind are particularly aggressive factors causing soil erosion. A geotextile is used as part of an erosion-control system to protect the soil (marine embankment slopes, riverbanks, bed protection) from this influence. Depending on the water’s force (flow rate, wave action, tidal surges) and the characteristics of the soil, the effects can be devastating (e.g. landslides).
