The HydroTurf® Revetment System is an ideal solution for a wide array of applications where stormwater and exposed soils interact. Soil erosion is an issue plaguing both the man-made, and natural environment. The increase in frequency and intensity of storms due to climate change has created the need for increasingly engineered approaches to deal with stormwater while keeping soils intact.
Traditional stormwater systems throughout the country are aging. Meanwhile, municipalities are struggling to find cost-effective means of managing wet weather events. Traditional stormwater systems collect rain and/or snowmelt and carry it via piping networks to a nearby waterway, or wastewater treatment plant. In cases where stormwater is delivered directly to waterways, pollutants can be carried and deposited without any mitigation. With ever increasing hardscapes and storm intensities, even stormwater management systems that are directed to water treatment plants can be overwhelmed. When this occurs, both stormwater and wastewater are typically diverted into waterways, further polluting our environment. Low Impact Development (LID) are practices that capture stormwater and naturally infiltrate it into the environment. Many of these practices require various geosynthetics to be an effective means of protecting the environment.
There is an ever-increasing expanse of impervious surfaces being constructed by mankind. Pair this with climate change generating more severe storms that are dumping record
