Problem Erosion: The subsurface of clay shale was eroding on this steep slope due to the scouring action of the adjacent Sixteen Mile Creek, which removed material from the slope walls, preventing the slope from reaching a stable inclination. Town officials were concerned their well used trail system would fail within the Glenorchy Conservation Area. Project background EnvirolokTM, combined with mechanical connection to the slope provides stability and the ability to expedite construction to restore vegetative cover lost to erosion. Installation Method: A crane was used to access the slope across the creek and atop a 3m buttress to enable expedited construction. Desired Results: Full Vegetative Cover with a mix of perennial grasses, wildflowers, willow, and dogwood. Ad
