Erosion Control and Slope Protection
Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process on all land. The agents of soil erosion are water and wind, each contributing to a significant amount of soil loss every year. Hurricanes and other severe weather events increase the rate and magnitude of erosion.
SLOPEGRID cellular confinement system is an economical long-term solution consisting of a giant blanket of 3D connected cells which fortifies the earth to prevent erosion, soil migration, and damaging shifting forces caused by water and wind.
- Most economical solution on the market
- Easy to install
- In stock and AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
Embankment Restoration • River Banks • Slopes • Beach / Sand Dunes • Green Roofs • Mountain Sides • Channels • Overpasses • Roadside Shoulder Reinforcement • Swales • Ports & Marinas

Paving the Anchorage Trail with Cell-Tek Load Support Grid.
A recent article in Hardscape Magazine (Nov/Dec 2010 issue) explained how Cell-Tek's LSG 200 load support grid was the perfect solution for paving the Anchorage Trail.
"Ingenious Engineering to a Paver Trail in a Flood Plain" by Tom Hatlen
In the article, Terry Chapman explains how and why he chose Cell-Tek products to support the paver trail with very little excavation and without reshaping the surrounding terrain in any way. Terry learned of Cell-Tek's LSG Series Load Support Grid and had explored its various uses since seeing it at Hardscape North America.
"I talked to the Cell-Tek guys in Nashville about what it could do and my jaw just dropped."

Filtering stormwater, the way it’s done now
Maple Ridge News - Filtering stormwater, the way it’s done now By Phil Melnychuk
Drop by drop, the effect cars, roads and roofs have on Maple Ridge streams is declining.
Thanks to the 2006 Watercourse Protection Bylaw, the amount of storm water that used to rush into creeks and streams, scouring out fish habitat and dumping pollutants, is dropping as builders get used to the new rules that control rainwater.
Two recent townhouse developments about to get final approval, one on 237th Street, the other on 240th Street, both use natural biofiltration techniques to capture the runoff, cleanse it of most contaminants, then slowly release it back into nature’s system.
Such measures are part of all new developments, said Chuck Goddard, the district’s manager of development and environmental services.

New Stormwater Rule will impact construction industry
On December 1, 2009, U.S. EPA published effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards to control the discharge of pollutants from construction sites. U.S. EPA expects that the New Stormwater Rule1 will reduce the amount of sediment discharged from construction sites by about 4 billion pounds each year. Importantly, the U.S. EPA also estimated the annual cost to comply with the New Stormwater Rule to be approximately $953 million after the rule has been fully implemented.
Erosion, Sediment Control and Soil Stabilization Requirements
This new rule also establishes general erosion and sedimentation control requirements that will apply to all those operators seeking coverage under the stormwater NPDES program (non-numeric requirements). The non-numeric requirements become applicable within 60 days after the final rule is published in the Federal Register, which was February 1, 2010. The non-numeric requirements include provisions related to designing and installing erosion and sediment controls, soil stabilization, dewatering, pollution prevision measures, prohibited discharges and requirements related to surface outlets.
