STABILITY: Hydraulic conditions and flow velocities determine the block size and layout design needed to stabilize the erosive forces. Cables are precast through each block, assuring both lateral and vertical stability. FLEXIBILITY: The pyramidal shape of the blocks allows for large angular variability. This flexibility allows the system to adapt to abrupt changes in grade contours. PERMEABILITY: The open area of the mats allows for sufficient transfer of water between the sub-grade and the system surface. The attached geotextile fabric allows for relief of hydrostatic pressure without permitting migration of sub-grade fines. VEGETATION: Grasses, plants, and shrubs will grow in the open area of the mat if desired. The roots of plants actually enhance the stability of the system over the years. Blocks can also be removed for larger planting without compromising the integrity of the system. REUSABLE: The cables of the mat allow for use as a temporary erosion control material for construction, traffic, or emergency situations. The mats can then be lifted for more permanent placement elsewhere or put into storage for the next job site. Cable Concrete is the premier precast concrete erosion control block system. It consists of pyramidal shaped concrete blocks interwoven with stainless steel cable and underlaid with a durable geotextile fabric. These characteristics allow for unsurpassed flexibility and ease of installation for a durable erosion control system that can protect any size or shape area. Cable Concrete provides the owner with a cost-effective solution that allows water permeability, vegetation, contour flexibility, subsoil confinement and long-term control of erosion.
