RCR-12® | Erosion Control Improvements

City of Irving, Texas, pilots ITL Reinforced Concrete Roll in erosion control and water management project.
Inland Tarp & Liner, in collaboration with Ferguson Waterworks, addressed the City of Irving's pressing drainage issues by installing RCR-12® as an erosion control solution. This project site was used as a pilot to test RCR® as an alternative to 4-6" unreinforced concrete and rock riprap.

Three days from beginning to completion.
This project started on a Friday with subgrade preparation and was completed by midday Tuesday the following week, a total of three working days. This timeline included some touch-up grading and compaction before deploying the material. The installation began and terminated on existing 4" slabs, utilizing 3" self-driving anchor bolts and 1/8 inch stainless steel baton strips with pre-drilled holes. This provided a mechanical transition between the RCR® and the existing concrete slabs to prevent undermining and hydraulic issues. The sides were toed in using large rocks, and the city later filled in the gaps with mortar.

Permanent upgrade for erosion control.
In summary, ITL RCR-12® was the perfect solution due to its moldable nature, quick installation, and ability to provide the end user with reliable, long-term water management.
