Stopping erosion with berm reinforcement
July 30, 2009

While it's been unusually cool and dry across much of the Upper Midwest for the last few weeks, heavy rainfall can happen anytime. And when conditions are either particularly wet or particularly dry, berms established to prevent flooding and contain stormwater can be susceptible to failure. One Florida reservoir is conducting $2.8 million in repairs to a berm to help prevent erosion, and one of the methods they're likely to use is geotextile reinforcement. A variety of methods are available, including reinforcement using a combination of geomembranes and geotextiles. Please feel free to contact us with your questions about berm reinforcement and we'll be happy to assist in the best way we can.
