As part of the reinforcement of the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal in South Wales, engineers have specified Terram’s specialist geotextile and cellular Erocell systems.

Terram’s range of geotextiles have hydraulic and filtration properties and so can be used instead of several layers of aggregate as a filter unit to form part of the defence structure needed to prevent erosion.

Geotextiles have several advantages over traditional filtration methods as they are easy to install and can be specified in the desired size.

Erocell by Terram is a cellular confinement system which can prevent soil erosion by confining soil or aggregate within its cellular structure.
