Erosion Control
Erosion Control Solutions
AQUALIS provides erosion control solutions to combat fast moving water that loosens soil leading to bare areas. Bare areas on your property are more than just unsightly, they may indicate a larger problem with your stormwater system.
Erosion is a Symptom of a Larger Stormwater Failure
This loose soil is then carried downstream and deposited into stormwater control measures. This sedimentation process can clog your stormwater system as the buildup of sediment restricts the flow of stormwater. Soil erosion is a compounding issue as soil loss in an area leads to slope instability which in turn results in faster moving water that disrupts more soil.
Sediment collecting around outlets may be a sign of internal pipe failure and may be a symptom of a developing sinkhole. Additionally, flooding downstream can occur as control measures have reduced capacity. The further downstream that is affected, the more likely properties owners are to get a notice of violation as other properties are negatively affected.
In severe cases, erosion may cause structural damage to parking lots and foundations. Soil loss may cause the ground to shift resulting in cracks and instability underneath impervious pavement. Erosion should be addressed by stormwater professionals to ensure the root cause of the problem is addressed and effectively repaired. AQUALIS provides root cause analysis to evaluate and repair the original cause of issues on your property. Neglecting soil loss on your property may lead to regulatory involvement as slope instability poses a safety risk for pedestrians and eroded soils may carry pollutants to vulnerable lakes nearby.
Stormwater on Your Property
Bank Erosion
Gully Erosion
Rill Erosion
Sheet Erosion
Splash Erosion
Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
