Traditional methods require digging long, deep trenches to access and replace pipes, which can compromise the integrity of nearby structures, roads, and landscapes. Trenchless methods need only small access holes at key points, significantly reducing the risk to surrounding structures.

🚀 When slopes are at risk of erosion from rainwater, shotcrete can help protect them. 🚀 It forms a firm layer that keeps rocks and debris from falling onto roads. 🚀 The concrete layer also shields the slope from damage caused by the weather. 🚀 Shotcrete, importantly, provides a significant boost in stability to slopes that may be unstable, instilling confidence in its effectiveness. 🎥Credit: Bombardi_tiefbau_gmbh #shortcrete #slope #stability #geotechnical #pavement #concrete

Wondering about the different types of protective systems for trenches? Let’s break it down! There are four key types: 1️⃣ Benching: Creating horizontal levels or steps in the trench walls, except on type C soil. 2️⃣ Sloping: Angling the trench walls away from the excavation site. 3️⃣ Shoring: Installing support systems to prevent soil movement. 4️⃣ Shielding: Using protective structures to guard against cave-ins. Understanding these protective measures is essential for keeping our teams safe during trenching operations. #BuildingColoradosFuture #NationalTrenchSafetyStandDownWeek

Shotcreate is the best option for protecting the fractured rock slopes against deterioration and indeed it can minimze the rockfall hazard in the future, however if it will be used for highly decompoed rock or soil embankment, steel reinforcement is a must, as shown in the below video.

Shotcrete offers slope protection. Structural shotcrete is applied to rock slopes to protect a surface that, if left untreated, would slide or fail. Shotcrete is consolidated against the receiving surface to fill cracks and prevent loose material from falling.

Talk about satisfying. This special media blasting, garnet to be specific, cleans the deeper cavities and areas down to the bare surface without damaging the substrate underneath. #specialmedia #construction #sandblasting https://buff.ly/3gRYSzH

One thing about side dump trailers that gets people thinking they should switch is the versatility of it. From big rocks, a bunch of little rocks, sand, gravel, water, sludge, etc. — if you can get it in that tub, then you can haul and dump it safely, no matter what it is. There’s always something we’ve never heard before that our customers want to haul. With a side dump, you can haul anything. For the more unique situations or products, we design trailers for the customer’s application.

LIKE ROCKS TIED TOGETHER - 💦⛈Australian Concrete Mats are made to prevent and protect from erosion. Watch this video how like rocks tied together, the concrete mats prevent erosion as it rains heavily. The concrete shapes slow the flow of water, as the water runs over it sediment and runoff is captured. Unlike loose rock drains the concrete mats do not wash away. They are safe to drive and walk on and grass can grow through them too! 💦✅ #australianconcretemats #erosioncontrol #swaledrains #tabledrain #stoperosion

🏖️ Groynes: Guardians of the Coast 🌊 A groyne, also spelled groin, is a rigid structure built perpendicular to the shoreline, extending from the beach into the water. Typically constructed of rock, concrete armor, steel, or wood, groynes are designed to interrupt the movement of sediment along the coast. The most common construction method involves using specified core fill, under layer, filter layer, and rock armor, tailored to geological and geographic conditions. Groynes are commonly used in erosion control to stabilize beaches and prevent coastal erosion. Their primary function is to trap sediment transported along the coast by waves and currents. By blocking this movement, groynes cause sand deposition on their updrift side. This accumulation builds up the beach, widening it and providing protection against erosion. Additionally, groynes can influence coastal currents, redirecting them and promoting more even sediment distribution along the shoreline, further enhancing beach stability and reducing erosion in specific areas. #CoastalProtection #ErosionControl #BeachStabilization #Groyne #GroyneConstruction #Construction #Coastalengineering #GuardiansOfTheCoast 🏝️🌊
