A 50 year old gravel pit was being reclaimed and turned into a high end housing development in Tacoma, Washington. The face of the pit was stepped at 50 foot intervals leaving steep bare slopes that were subject to heavy erosion. Hydro-Blanket Bonded Fiber Matrix was used on the first acre of the project as a substitute for straw blankets. The freshly excavated gravel was fairly loose during this application.
Clogged storm drains at the top of the slope caused minimal damage.
The Project Superintendent requested that Hydro-Blanket Bonded Fiber Matrix be used for the entire fourteen acres of slope that needed protection. All Rights Reserved.
