Florida Erosion Control Services shoreline restoration in Florida / Geotec Tube erosion barrier

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 is a serious issue in Florida, and continues to grow worse due to poor lake development standards, hurricanes and heavy rain. Erosion control is easily solved by installation of the Geotec Tube erosion control system. Shoreline restoration is also easily achieved by the installation of the Geotec Tube erosion control system.

The Geotec Tube is constructed from the highest quality Polypropylene non-woven geotextile 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.

Storm Water Management and Erosion Control

Everyone has probably heard of the phrase, living in common rain areas such as South Florida that when it rains, it pours-both figuratively and non-figuratively speaking. We obviously know that rain is a necessity, but too much rain can lead to to soil erosion. In some severe cases, rain can cause sheet erosion which is caused by an unconfined flow of water running across a surface. The intensity of the rain fall determines how much water flow runs off, which is relevant to how much soil is removed, leading to the cause of erosion.

For many golf courses and lake management companies, storm water management is important for proper erosion control. For example, when constructing a new golf course on Bigwin Island in Canada, many environmental agencies and local residents expressed their concerns over the protection of shoreline around Bigwin Island. The developers had to undergo the challenge of finding a method of storm water management that would protect the shoreline from potential run off from erosion during construction. Although only one hole would be near the lake at Bigwin Island, there were some elevation changes that pointed to the potential for silt from erosion to reach the lake, which in this case, it was also necessary to develop a method for filtering storm water runoff before it reached the lake.

Erosion control limits, the potential for silt to reach the lake would decrease. However, rain is a natural process and necessary for survival, so finding a method to prevent further shoreline erosion is key since rain is unstoppable. Installing proper storm water drainage is important, but unfortunately, land/shoreline erosion is inevitable. For the development of a new golf course , a decision was made to sod all areas of primary rough on the course in order to reduce the overall areas exposed to potential erosion. While this is a good temporary method, the sod will eventually begin to erode and the land will undergo erosion, as expected. The The Geotec Tube is a great solution to prevent shoreline erosion and is not only eco-friendly and safe to the environment; it can be constructed in the desired grade to blend in with the natural surroundings. Thus, storm water management and erosion control are extremely important when planning the construction of golf courses and communities, and other lake management concerns.

Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development and construction. This sometimes involves the creation of a physical barrier, such as vegetation or rock, to absorb some of the energy of the wind or water that is causing the erosion. Effective erosion controls are important techniques in preventing water pollution and soil loss. Erosion control may arise in natural areas, agricultural settings or urban environments, the latter of which is often characterized as storm water runoff driven.

American Shoreline Restoration ASR is the leader in affordable shoreline restoration. ASR is family owned & operated and focuses mainly on Geotec Tube erosion control system installations. The Geotec Tube is installed from the water with no impact on existing landscape or property use. Geotec Tube erosion control applications include hundreds of golf courses, city, county and state governmental agencies, as well as homeowners associations, private residence and Orlando theme parks.
