Bluemont Rock Bags™ have been used globally for over 30 years now and are a proven erosion and scour solution. Tested by time and many tough projects, these flexible rock net gabions have consistently performed well.
However, our roads, bridges, wharves, and ports are only getting bigger. Australia has high standards and our clients, and their consultants have asked for further scale model testing. With the production of massive new cruise vessels, ports and wharves are doubling down on protection from the destruction of their huge bow thrusters. This means rigorous testing was required to ensure the best possible solution is deployed. An exciting project opportunity and we believed the Bluemont Rock Bags™ could do it.
Luckily, here down under, we have some of the best testing facilities for this sort of thing! We know the Bluemont Rock Bags™ are strong, but we needed to know if they could handle even more! Would the Bluemont Rock Bags™ stand up to the design parameters?
Testing began at UNSW Water Research Laboratory and a better-than-expected outcome was produced. The Bluemont Rock Bags™, tested in a scale model flume, surpassed our expectations, and cleared the requirements. The project for the new wharf upgrades has gone ahead and many bags have already been successfully installed!
Of course, these flexible rock net gabions can be deployed in a variety of ways. Made from 100% recycled materials, they are fish-friendly and an economic solution for your project. They have previously been used in projects on riverbanks, bridge pylons, beaches, retaining walls and roads. Bluemont Rock Bags™ are a simple and resilient solution that will prove to be an efficient choice.
