Erosion Prevention
Soil erosion by water is a common and destructive force that plagues many project sites. It makes unsightly gullies on roadways, cut slopes and embankments. It gouges out side ditches, fills culverts with sediment and is a costly nuisance.

There are three basic ways of preventing erosion. The first is to treat the surface by paving, riprapping or using erosion-resistant turn, vines or other vegetation. Second, the velocity of the water may be reduced by means of ditch checks. The third method is to intercept the water through inlets and convey it in corrugated steel flumes, pipe spillways, stream enclosures or storm drains. Larger streams may be controlled by steel sheeting, jetties or retaining walls.

CSP, with its long lengths, positive joints and flexibility to conform to shifting soil, provides a most dependable means of solving erosion problems.
