The use of slope stabilization comes into play when the owner of a property is looking for a more efficient solution with vegetation. In these images, a slope was created at a pitch of 1.5H:1V. The Enkamat R45 is able to stabilize the slope and allow grass to grow overtime. The Enkamat is rolled out down the slope and anchored into place with 3′ deep RVX Armor Anchors at 7.5′ offsets. During these types of installations, it is mandatory that we have a written tie-off safety plan in place that is site specific for the installation method.

Welded Wire Facing Units (WWF) are used to show vegetation of a near vertical slope, or sometimes are used as the reinforcing structure of an MSE Panel Retaining Wall. For vegetation growth, erosion control blankets are wrapped at the face of the basket as it is filled with topsoil-like material. For MSE Panel installation that covers the face of the WWF wall, heavy-duty filter fabric is used to support the structural soil fill within the baskets. Every basket course is reinforced with geogrid (typical to a regular segmental wall) at a depth structurally designed by the wall engineer of record.
