Year of installation

2016

Initial situation

Following heavy storms and flooding in 2015 significant erosion was caused to the riverbank under the castle.

Geology

Quaternary fluvial sands.

Description

In conjunction with the geotechnical contractor, who had already decided the slope needed soil nailing and TECCO® System, we looked to optimise the solution for the fine grained nature of the soil. We suggested the use of the TECCO® G45/2 in conjunction with an erosion control mat.
