Drainage ditch solution

TILTEX 12  has been installed in this drainage ditch that was eroding from the center outwards due to the rising water line which would compromise adjacent housing and properties.

PROJECT GOAL:

Protect the slopes and provide means for directional water flow from outfalls, significantly upgrade site conditions

PRE-EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS:

Subgrade CBR <5%

Soft clays/vegetation, existing water in channel during installation. Existing erosion from the center moving outward, compromising the slope.

TILTEX as a solution to:

Ditch stability

Reduce installation downtime challenges—time out of service was days rather than weeks.

Long-term erosion control

Costly repair and replacement when using alternative methods like traditional concrete, rip-rap, and pipe.

TIME & COST SAVING INSTALLATION WITH LONG TERM BENEFITS.

The contractor was able to successfully install a 96’ section of TILTEX 12 to stabilize a channel primarily used for drainage. Water levels fluctuate on a weekly basis causing erosion that compromised the slope.

TILTEX 12 provided slope stability against the low CBR and soft clays. This job was entirely performed in two working days. Using TILTEX 12 saved labor, time, and cost as well as added considerable longevity to this problematic.
