bridge scour prevention work

Bluemont Rock Bags™ played a pivotal role in the renovation of the Coondoo Creek bridge. Road Tek opted for our durable Bluemont Rock Bags™ to serve as a stable work platform and for bank reinforcement along the creek.

These flexible net gabions exhibited outstanding performance, owing to their eco-conscious and sturdy design. Notably, these bags support the growth of natural vegetation and even serve as habitats for fish. Bluemont Rock Bags™ boast a swift rock deployment system and offer exceptional stability once in place. We were delighted that this design provided a rapid and effective temporary solution that successfully accomplished the task.

Sometimes, it’s the often-overlooked places that require some attention, such as this aging railroad bridge. Although it may not appear so, this dry creek bed experiences periodic flooding. The bridge pillars were vulnerable to erosion at their bases due to the fluctuating water velocity during floods, which erodes the surrounding sediment.

Additionally, there was significant bank erosion, where floodwaters could undermine the banks, leading to landslides and further damage. We take pride in offering a swift and immediately effective solution using Bluemont Rock Bags™. With a mere 5-minute deployment time per bag, you save both time and money, making it challenging to find a more efficient erosion control solution anywhere!
