Case Study
Sophia Creek - Creekbank Stabilization
Problem Erosion: Replace gabion baskets around the existing culvert and repair an approximately 25 m long section of the creek bank along its south side, which has been eroded by multiple 100-year storm events. This section of the creek had approximately 2m high bare slopes, which were undercut by water flow erosion. Project background EnvirolokTM, provides stability and the ability to expedite construction to restore vegetative cover lost to erosion near creekbank and culvert. Installation Method: Working with the City of Barrie maintenance crews and Technical Support provided by EnvirolokTM, bags were hand laid with minimal heavy equipment required. Desired Results: Full Vegetative Cover with a mix of perennial native grasses and wildflowers. Advanced Construction In
