Project erosion repair

The newly opened Jindabyne ski ramp and airbag jump provides a year-round training ground for Australia’s elite winter athletes.

The surrounding slope was suffering from erosion that was threatening the bespoke ramp.

The site was steep and large which meant that a traditional shotcrete solution would be beyond the client’s budget.

The main challenge for this project was to quickly repair and future-proof the site in a fast, cost-effective manner. This needed to be achieved with minimal labor and machinery in a regional location.

It was suggested a combination of solutions to direct the heavy water flow. This involved lining the flow path by hard armoring with TILTEX.

Both products are quick and easy to roll out with minimal labor and machinery. This meant that the client could avoid expensive plant float and large installation crew.
