Concrete Bags Installation

Fabriform Concrete Bags can be installed in a number of different ways to address a variety of waterfront erosion problems. Below are the five most common configurations.

1. Shoreline Protection

2. Groins

3. Pipeline Saddles

4. Structural Repairs

5. Breakwaters

NOTE: When used as waterfront protection over erodible soil, a layer of filter cloth beneath and behind the blocks is required to prevent toe scour and undermining or consolidation of the underlying soil. Fabriform revetments are an effective supporting platform under the blocks on soft soil.

 

In construction of breakwater and groins, the top layer of blocks must be oriented perpendicular to the predominant direction of wave action or “nose-on” to the waves.
