What is Erosion Control?
Erosion control is the practice of preventing or reducing water or wind erosion in highway embankments, land development, coastal areas, and site construction as well as lining slopes for reservoirs, storm water ponds and irrigation channels.
Applications of Erosion Control
Strata’s incline solutions help prevent slope erosion by effectively confining the upper infill along the slope. Strata’s slope erosion system can be used on very steep slopes (as steep as 60 degrees) and provides a cost-effective solution compared to alternatives such as stone pitching. The system provides multiple infill options such as vegetative soil, concrete, crushed stone or debris, sand, and practically any locally available material based on the outer finish required. When a geomembrane liner is used and cannot be punctured, StrataWeb® is a perfect system to protect the liner and the slope. It can be laid on the liner without any requirement for puncturing and is anchored at the crest of the slope. Strata’s system includes all accessories required to lay and anchor the slope – StrataLock®, StrataFast®, and StrataCord®.

Products used in Erosion Control
Strata provides a number of products to help safeguard your project from common erosion problems, and with our expertise in soft soil stability, Strata products can minimize the effect of erosion and provide permanent protection.
| StrataWeb® (Geocell)
One of nature’s strongest structural shapes is the three dimensional honeycomb. StrataWeb® (geocell) applies this shape to soil reinforcement to solve some of today’s most difficult civil engineering problems.
| StrataSlope™ System
The StrataSlope® system is a cost-effective, environment friendly, and sustainable solution for your geotechnical or geo-environmental project. Our Strata technical team will be your companion from the initial project commissioning, through detailed design and onward to the end of the construction.
| StrataWall™ System
The StrataWall™ system is a cost effective alternative to reinforced structure with steel reinforcements or conventional reinforced cement concrete retaining walls and ideal for walls of great height.
Success stories of Erosion Control
Projects of Erosion Control using Geocell, StrataSlope™ and StrataWall™
Slope erosion protection at Katania Heights using StrataWeb®
Katania Heights is a newly completed subdivision on the Nelson. As part of the sub-divisions stormwater design, the steep spillways had to be protected from erosion during storm events. It was decided that lining these spillways with concrete would be a robust solution
Slope protection for railway track for thermal power plant
The railway link between Goindwal Sahib and the nearest railway station, Khadoor Sahib, is a single-track corridor for the transportation of coal to the thermal power plant at Goindwal Sahib. Since the railway line controls the lifeline of the power plant, the rail link needed to be kept fully.
Embankment Slope Protection Stabilization in Odisha
Side slope erosion has always been an issue for highway embankments. Especially during the monsoons, these slopes pose a challenge. The Larsen & Toubro-IDPI SPV, constructing its 163 km long Rourkela-Sambalpur tollway road project in Odisha, faced this issue.
