Silent Valley Erosion Control Building with Nature Case Study HydraCXTM was applied to 125,000m 2 of poor, erosion prone soil at a large landfill site in Ebbw Vale, South Wales. HydraCX is a hydraulically applied erosion control product that protects slopes against soil and seed loss from heavy rain and wind from day one of application. It is 100 per cent natural, consisting of reclaimed cotton and straw fibres, and is an effective alternative to a biodegradable rolled erosion control coir/jute matting or netting solution. Landfill slopes were lined to prevent the migration of leachate into underlying soil, ground water, aquifers or nearby rivers. The liner was then covered in sub soil and rolled and compacted with a further layer of soil over the top. Salix River & Wetland Service
