AquaRockBags were used on the #RiverDerwent following a flood event that caused a 20 metre section of flood wall to collapse. The AquaRockBags were then reused as part of the temporary works, providing a simple and cost-effective solution.

Concerned about #erosion?
Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRM) provide significant erosion protection from the moment they are installed, whilst allowing vegetation to establish.
Find out more about the VmaxC350 TRM: lnkd.in/e4YAyuAq

We're currently preparing a delivery of rock mattresses to assist with an #erosion control project.
Rock mattresses come pre-filled and provide instant erosion protection from the moment that are installed.

Do you know the plant species? 🌿
We have been preparing pre-established coir pallets at our wetland nursery. The pallets in the photo will be ready for projects mid-summer 2023, once the plants are mature. Ideal for instant habitat.

Can you see the #rockmattress?
Salix's rock mattresses provide sensitive scour protection near assets such as bridges.
👍 pre-filled = quick to install
👍 can be installed in-situ without dewatering
👍 small stone = greater abundance and diversity of invertebrates

Salix de-engineered a gabion retaining wall on a river, where rock mattresses and a Vmax TRM were installed instead. Our solution required just 4% Co2e compared with the gabion construction!
Bioengineering provides multiple environmental and erosion control benefits 🌳

Over 35% of wetlands have been lost since 1970's, yet wetlands sequester significantly more carbon than terrestrial ecosystems.
1.5 megatons of Co2e could be captured and stored in plans by the UK government for 22ha of saltmarsh restoration.

🌼 Plants, plants and more plants 🌼
We grow millions of native plants every year for a variety of habitats. Don't let to top growth fool you, the root mass is a better indicator of maturity.

The #Terralock system provides multiple benefits between habitat, erosion protection and protection from shallow slips.
Check out this install in Manchester. The system simply requires a surface layer of materials, making it extremely quick to install too!

#MayfieldPark begins to take shape, as the FIRST GREEN appears 💚
Contractor @PP_OConnor has reduced the lawn walls to river level & #restoration specialist @SalixBio is cleaning it to remove any rubbish & silt. Rock rolls, coir pallets & native plant species will now be laid

Visited Perry Bar and Whitton Flood Alleviation Scheme with @JacksonCivils this week. Soil cultivation, rolling & stone picking ongoing🚜
The embankment we hydroseeded looks well! Laid a @SalixBio turf reinforcement mat made from coconut fibre to prevent erosion #naturalsolutions
