Dredging and Revetments

Nicospan geotextile fabric is used as a soft revetment to repair and stabilise the eroded banks of lakes and rivers by retaining backfill material such as dredgings.
 
It can be used in a formal setting or to create more natural wildlife habitat as the photos below show.

The aquatic plants will colonise the dredgings over time to form a marginal wetland habitat
