Temporary vegetation was required on a project perimeter to provide silt and erosion protection for a pad site in San Antonio, TX. What makes great base material makes less than ideal growing medium though, and there was less than one percent organic matter – far less than was needed to sustain successful plant growth.

An area along the shoreline of the Assiniboine River was eroding due to water level changes and wave action from boats. The engineer (KGS Group) designed a riprap toe to reinforce the lower shoreline and had originally specified four inches of imported topsoil and sod for the upper section. After the initial design, hydraulic options were considered as alternatives due to limited access.

Previous attempts to revegetate using a fully synthetic TRM (Turf Reinforcement Mat) on other areas of the Sunset Farms Landfill in Manor, TX (just outside of Austin) had not reached satisfactory density vegetation for Republic Services.

With extreme cut inclines (1:1 and steeper), the Line 2E Road project, near Terra Nova, in Southern Ontario, was quite challenging.

A residential house had been built and there was a significant hillside that had been removed to provide space for a driveway. After the excavation of the site, the homeowner had a slope that was composed of very fine sands that needed to be stabilized. The slope was so unstable and steep that traditional methods of placing topsoil were difficult to utilize.

This City park project was a re-channelization of a drainage swale designed by Thompson Dreessen & Dorner, Inc, of Omaha, NE. The channel was needed to mitigate and existing road side ditch that the Corps of Engineers claimed as a jurisdictional waterway.

The extension of a runway at the Dillingham Airport was needed to allow access to larger planes and to improve safety at the site.
