Stop losing ground to the water.
Waterfront property, lakes, ponds and developments lose land one storm at a time. The right fix protects the property and still looks like it belongs there.
Start a ConversationEach high-water event takes more of the bank, and the edge is getting closer to structures.
Flow or wave energy concentrated against an unprotected bank.
We redirect the energy away from the bank where possible and protect it where not, leaving room for the bank to recover.
Banks are undercut and collapsing, and the water's edge is moving inland.
Wave action and changing water levels working at the toe of the bank.
We protect the bank with a system that holds the toe and lets vegetation re-establish above it.
A channel is deepening, a headcut is moving upstream, and usable land is being lost.
Runoff concentrated on a grade the soil cannot resist.
We engineer the channel and grade control, and build it with the smallest footprint the site allows.
The plan calls for a drainage channel that must satisfy reviewers and still fit the landscape.
Approval requirements and appearance both constrain what can be built.
We design the channel, carry it through permitting and install protection that supports vegetation.
In the field
Before
AfterThe river was taking this bank, and the farmland above it, with every high water event. Five years after the work, the bank is rebuilt and green.
Before
AfterA headcut was cutting its way upstream through open ground, taking more land with every storm. We installed stepped grade control to stop the knickpoint and step the water down safely to the channel below.
Before
AfterMeandering creeks see changing water levels and flow rates, and they can expose a pipeline quickly. We rebuilt this bank as a stepped wall over the line.
Before
AfterOver time, erosion can leave a pipeline spanning a ravine it was never meant to cross. That calls for prompt work: support beneath the pipeline and armoring around it.
Before
AfterFlow through this road crossing had cut the bank beside it back toward the road. We rebuilt the bank and armored it where the flow leaves the crossing.
Before
AfterBelow a roadway, runoff cut this drainage channel deep into red clay and exposed the line running through it. We rebuilt it as a lined channel, from the road culvert down, that holds its grade.
Before
AfterDebris and high flows scoured this creek crossing until the line beneath it was exposed. We restored the cover and rebuilt the crossing over new culverts.
Before
AfterRunoff at this processing plant had carved the drainage under the pipe racks into open ditches. We lined the channel to protect the ground the supports stand on and mitigate sediment flow.
Before
AfterWhen a river starts cutting toward a transmission line, the structures beside it are next. We armored the banks and channels to protect the utility infrastructure.
How we work
Whatever the industry, every project follows the same six steps, and our own people carry it through each one. Nothing is handed off to another firm along the way.
