E Rosion by Ecoflex International

The Ecoflex E Rosion System is a patented system that uses recycled materials to produce engineer designed and certified structures for the control of water erosion.

 

E Rosion projects are constructed using a unique adaptable container - The Ecoflex Unit. Derived from quality controlled recycled tyres, this unit uses the high tensile strength of a tyre to form an incredibly strong containment device. This container becomes a circular, permeable unit that can be combined in various cellular arrangements to perform as a durable barrier against erosion much as a conventional rock mattress would, but at reduced cost and with improved performance and durability.

 

Engineering Properties of the E Rosion System

 

•  Speed and ease of construction delivers low cost outcomes.
•  Permeable rock fill acts as an energy dissipater
•  Durability of structure is well in excess of most stringent design requirements
•  Easy to dismantle remove and reuse
•  Proven safe and beneficial to the environment
•  Has been designed for water velocities of up to 6 m/s

 

The E Rosion System is suitable for:

 

Drainage Channels & Culverts, Scour Protection Beneath Bridges, Mines Roads, Road & Rail Embankments, Flood Plains & Water Courses, Batter Protection, Permanent or Temporary Works
