AWM offers a wide range of revetment packages to suit the varied requirements of our customers and the environment.
Where possible and practical we always aim to use bio-engineering incorporating indigenous plants into the design for improved aesthetics and longevity.
Hard Revetment Types include:
o Steel sheet piles typically for marinas, moorings and retaining high banks.
o Concrete block systems for heavy traffic use of a shoreline, fast flows or heavy wave action.
o Wooden structures such as cam sheeting or sleepers for more formal environments such as parks.
Soft Revetment Types include:
o The use of indigenous marginal plants to stabilise a bank and prevent erosion. These are often  pre-grown in coir rolls of various sizes or flat pallets to provide an instant green solution.
o Reinforced earth wrapped in geotextile to enable a steeper slope finish.
Geotextile fencing: man made woven fabric to retain solids such as silt in creating wetland areas.
o Bundles of sticks ( faggot bundles) to retain eroding banks, often used with pre planted coir rolls above.
