Project Details

  • Sector: Transport and Infrastructure
  • Location: Essex
  • Solution: Embankments, Erosion Control
  • Client: Kier Rail

A series of potentially dangerous deep-seated failures on a railway embankment required treatment to prevent further slips.

The geotechnical issues of ground stability were resolved using soil nailing. The surface erosion was solved by using VMax C350. C350 is a composite Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) and was installed over prepared seeded topsoil. 

The whole surface was then covered with rock netting. 

The C350 is a permanent solution that will offer long term erosion control and vegetative reinforcement.
