Project Objectives Using Reinforced Concrete Roll®
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Alpha Southwest chose to use ITL Reinforced Concrete Roll® in a drainage pond to explore the benefit of using a GCCM (Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat) for rapid deployment and uniformity in place of traditionally poured concrete to prevent slope erosion.
PROJECT GOAL
Protect the surrounding slopes of a retention pond constructed for overflow.
RCR® AS A SOLUTION TO
- Erosion on banks prior to installation.
- Side wall failure & Stability issues.
- Long-term and repeated repair cost.
- Time & labor cost compared to traditional concrete pouring method.
Three Day Installation Using RCR® For Slope Protection
Compared to traditional concrete pouring methods, ITL RCR® was instrumental in armoring this retention pond in just three days.
Day One: Grading and trenching were performed utilizing 2' down and 1' back at the top and bottom of the slope.
Day Two: 75% of Reinforced Concrete Roll® material was deployed for the facing slopes.
Day Three: The remaining 25% of the material was installed, and the entire project was hydrated using a water truck with a pump.
Comparatively, a local contractor estimated the project would take 1-2 weeks if traditional concrete methods were used.
