What makes an erosion and scour protection system last?

When protecting coastlines, waterways, transport corridors or mining infrastructure, the selection of material, design and long-term durability all play a critical role.

Join Geofabrics National BDM - Sports and Coastal, Ben Krzewina, and President and Head of R&D at Garware Technical Fibres, Sanjay Charati, next week for an Engineers Australia webinar on managing erosion and scour in critical infrastructure.

Attendees will learn how UV stability, abrasion resistance, and hydraulic performance influence the durability and effectiveness of HDPE rock bag systems.

📅 Date: Tuesday 27 October

Join us this week, 21–23 October, at the Australian Landfill and Transfer Stations (ALTS) Conference in Brisbane.

Visit us at stand 15 to discover Geofabrics’ geosynthetic solutions, including Elcoseal and Sorbseal, which prevents groundwater contamination, and Flownet drainage geocomposite for the effective drainage of water, gas and leachate.

Daniel Gibbs and Dr Bowei Yu from our Centre for Geosynthetic Research, Innovation and Development (the GRID) laboratory will also be at the conference to assist with project enquiries. The GRID laboratory conducts chemical compatibility and leaching studies to assess geosynthetic performance when exposed to hazardous substances, providing technical insights to help clients find the right solution for their project.

🏗️ Scour is one of the leading causes of damage to bridge foundations and coastal structures.

To protect bridge piers, wharf structures and coastal assets from the effects of flowing water, waves and tidal forces, AquaRockBag is used as a durable and adaptable scour protection solution.

Its flexible design conforms to the contours of the riverbed or seabed, helping to create a stable protective layer around structures and reduce the risk of scour.

By helping prevent the erosion of material around foundations, AquaRockBag supports the long-term stability of critical infrastructure.

🌱 Back in 2020, an embankment along Beechmont Road was experiencing serious erosion following heavy rainfall events. To help stabilise the slope and reduce further soil loss, Geofabrics supplied Grassroots synthetic erosion control matting.

Having successfully used Grassroots on previous projects, the local council selected the solution again for its proven performance and suitability for erosion control applications.

Grassroots provides immediate surface protection while supporting vegetation establishment and can withstand extended exposure to the elements as vegetation takes hold. Its UV-stabilised fibres have demonstrated no loss in tensile strength after 1,000 hours of accelerated testing, supporting long-term performance in exposed environments.

🛻💥 Last weekend, Geofabrics was invited along to see one of our projects in action at AAMI Park, Melbourne, during the Monster Jam show.

In total, 80 rolls of Bidim Green non-woven geotextile were supplied for the track, laid over the grass as a temporary protection layer to help shield the turf from heavy loads.

Our team often sees products before and during the construction phase, so it was a great change of scenery to see Bidim Green in action as the monster trucks took on the track.

Traditionally, retaining walls were seen as structures that managed changes in elevation.

As infrastructure projects place greater focus on construction productivity, resilience and whole-of-life value, the role of retaining structures is evolving.

Our latest article explores how mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls can support broader project objectives, from constructability and programme certainty through to long-term performance.

🏏 What’s underneath a sports field can make all the difference.

At Western Lawn, Footscray Park, Mirafi RSi geotextile and Geoweb geocell were used to reinforce and stabilise the soft ground beneath the new sports field.

Over 1,000 m² reinforced for community sport and events.
