American Shoreline Restoration is proud to offer the Geotec Tube Erosion Control System. At 25% of the cost of conventional bulkheads or seawalls, the Geotec Tube is the most cost effective and environmentally responsible shore line erosion control system available. Shoreline erosion presents a serious issue in Florida, and grows worse due to poor lake development standards, hurricanes and heavy rain. Erosion control is easily achieved by the installation of the Geotec Tube and Shoreline restoration aslo becomes more feasible by installing the Geotec Tube erosion control system. The Geotec Tube is constructed from the highest quality Polypropylene non-woven geometries which is sewn together to form a custom diameter tube. The tube is interconnected along the waters edge, then a small sand pump is used to fill the tube with the same sand and organic material that has been eroding into the lake or canal. The final result is a long lasting, fully contained sand filter barrier that will stabilize the bank from erosion and filter rainwater and irrigation run off. The Geotec Tube erosion barrier can be installed on any shoreline contour or stacked pyramid fashion to create a more substantial barrier to protect against soil erosion during heavy rains. Once the Geotec Tube is sodded, the durability and life span is unlimited. Shoreline restoration is easy to obtain and erosion control has never been more simple. Shoreline Restoration, Erosion Control, Erosion Restoration's Eco-Filter Tube™ is a sturdy polypropylene geotextile (woven or non-woven) that has been engineered specifically for shoreline erosion control. Our geotextile technology offers an affordable solution for dealing with shoreline restoration, erosion control, land stabilization and environmental preservation. Working on the basic principle of containment, de-watering and consolidation, the Geotec Tube stabilizes the underlying shoreline and creates a barrier against further erosion. Our eco-friendly geotextile tube technology restores your shoreline to its original condition while increasing soil stability, promoting drainage, and providing long lasting erosion control. Property owners, golf course superintendents, lake managers, and government agencies who are eager to improve their lakes and shorelines while controlling expenses have found the Geotec Tube to be the perfect solution. With current budgets being tighter than ever, the Geotec Tube has proved to be the most cost effective method of erosion control while providing the greatest natural aesthetics. Our shoreline restoration technique involves recycling sand and organic material from the adjacent body of water. This removes the need to bring in costly material and the potential damage often caused by heavy equipment. Once the shoreline has been completely restored, any type of desired foliage can be planted and it can be safely walked on or driven on by machinery. Our Erosion Control experts will design and create the perfect landscape for you! Every year, erosion causes millions of dollars worth of damage to the shorelines of public and private properties. Without adequate protection, this degrading land can cause very significant and costly damage. So please browse our site and learn about how Erosion Restoration can restore your properties natural charm and prevent further erosion. Our Erosion Restoration and Erosion Control Expertise:

EROSION CONTROL NEWS:Erosion control is a concern across the world. Soil erosion has affected land all over the world. Erosion Control stops the shifting of soil particles due to devastating impacts of rainfall, wind and waves. Soil erosion is a natural process, but in many cases human activity drastically speeds up this process. After the soil particles have shifted, the creation of gullies, cracks and severe dryness begins. Erosion control prevents loss of property and shoreline destruction which affects property value aswell as many aspects of the ecosystem, affecting plants, flowers, vegetation and crops because the soil does not contain enough nutrients to help them grow healthily. Erosion restoration should begin with erosion control methods. Prevention methods should be determined by the depth and severity of soil erosion which has occurred. Erosion control methods will help keep your soil healthier and more hospitable for plants and flowers. The best management practices in helping to promote erosion control are a physical, chemical, structural or managerial practice that prevents, reduces or treats contamination of water or which prevents or reduces soil erosion. Erosion control management practices can be the most simple and effective measures that can be taken in order to retain sediments to the area of erosion. There are a few management practices that can help you protect and create an erosion barrier. The Geotec Tube is constructed from the highest quality Polypropylene non-woven geometries which is sewn together to form a custom diameter tube. The geotec tube erosion barrier is interconnected along the waters edge, then a small sand pump is used to fill the tube with the same sand and organic material that has been eroding into the lake or canal. The final result is a long lasting, fully contained sand filter barrier that will stabilize the bank from erosion and filter rainwater and irrigation run off. The Geotec Tube erosion barrier can be installed on any shoreline contour or stacked pyramid fashion to create a more substantial barrier to protect against soil erosion during heavy rains. Once the Geotec Tube is sodded, the durability and life span is unlimited. Shoreline restoration is easy to obtain and erosion control has never been more simple. Many other management practices can be used in addition for maximized erosion control results . One example of an erosion control management practice is that of surface roughening, which will help reduce runoff velocity and allow for infiltration, sediment trapping, and supporting the establishment of vegetative cover. Another method that is used in order to promote healthy erosion control is to spread a thick layer of mulch in the area in which erosion restoration is necessary. Mulch is is a group of organic and inorganic materials that prevents the movement of the soil by influence of the wind and rain, this can drastically help in erosion prevention. Another tactic that can be very useful are the use of erosion blankets. Erosion control blankets are mats comprised of organic fibers or inorganic materials help by synthetic or biodegradable netting. These prevent erosion from exposed soils in channels on slopes, or as a wet weather measure. A listing some erosion control links; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_control Erosion Control ArticleThere’s something to be said for sticking with native vegetation—assuming you’re in a climate that has a good variety of native plants. Abu Dhabi recently weighed the pros and cons of a plant it has long imported and farmed, one that is sometimes used for erosion control, and decided to prevent its future planting there. Rhodes grass, native to sub-Saharan Africa, is a perennial that, besides its usefulness for erosion control, is great for pastureland. Although it’s considered an invasive plant—some rainforest areas, as well as some parts of Australia, have had trouble with it spreading where it’s not wanted and driving out native species—that isn’t really the problem in Abu Dhabi. Rhodes grass is tolerant of high temperatures and salinity—though not of frost—and grows well in sandy soils; it seems in many ways ideal for the emirate’s desert climate. In many ways, that is, except for a critically important one. As the director of Abu Dhabi’s farming sector in the country’s Food Control Authority pointed out in explaining the decision to stop planting it, watering the Rhodes grass consumed about 60% of available irrigation water last year. Sixty percent, in a region that relies on desalination plants for about 70% of its water. Similar debates have taken place in the US; the production of alfalfa in California, for example, requires a huge amount of water. Although many parts of the state face water shortages, it’s not—yet, at least—as costly a resource as it would be if produced by desalination. Ironically, per capita water consumption in Abu Dhabi and the other United Arab Emirates is among the world’s highest, averaging about 100 liters per person per day (still not as high as US consumption, however). Other plants—the noninvasive vetiver, for instance—have been widely imported in many countries for erosion control, but growing plants for grazing animals is another story. Is there a less-water-hungry pastureland crop that might work in Abu Dhabi’s climate without introducing environmental problems of its own?
