Fabric Formed Concrete Revetment Mat

Hydrotex fabric formed concrete solutions for marine and environmental erosion control scour protection can reduce wave run up flow velocities resist erosive forces such as ship wakes wind waves currents can be applied on curved slopes drainage ditches slopes channels lakes reservoirs rivers embankment protection and armor protection for piles and breakwaters.

Fabric formed concrete revetment mat.

Woven filterpoints formed by weaving both layers of the fabric form together at specific intervals provide relief of hydrostatic uplift pressure. Filterpoint fabric formed concrete revetments provide protection for ditches creeks bridge abutments shorelines canals reservoirs holding ponds and any where else hard armor protection is. Armorform fabric formed concrete revetment systems a solution to permanent hard armor erosion control armorform utilizes double layer woven geotextiles engineered exclusively to serve as forms for casting concrete erosion control revetments and linings. Each compartment is separated by a narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric containing interconnecting high strength revetment cables.

The purpose of this paper is to familiarize the design engineer with the different styles of fabric formed concrete revetment systems and to introduce the design concepts and methodologies for. The styles of fabric formed concrete include the filter point mat the uniform section mat the articulating block mat and concrete filled fabric bags. They are used for the construction and repair of erosion control structures such as dam scour aprons breakwaters dikes seawalls groins and jetties as well as. Fabric formed concrete armor units meet the requirements for a reliable and economical cast in place alternative to heavy quarry stone rip rap or large precast concrete blocks.

Fabriform fabric formed concrete is superior to rip rap and concrete paving for several reasons.
