Erosion control blocks

Since 1986 Terrafix erosion control blocks have proved themselves as a most versatile and environmentally sound product. They were designed to provide a cost effective, flexible lining to protect against wind and water erosion.

Terrafix is an interlocking environmentally acceptable element, made of high strength concrete. It was specifically designed to provide a flexible lining where cost-effective protection against wind and water erosion is required. They are available in three different thicknesses and can be laid in a variety of configurations to suit most site conditions.

This makes it the ideal product to help combat the rapid degradation of our rivers and streams, caused by unbridled urbanisation and poor farming practices all over South Africa and the world. Terrafix can help prevent our soil being eroded away, while still being permeable enough to help preserve our precious ground water reserves and biodiversity.

Recently the new Terracrete block was added to our range of products. Terracrete is even more cost effective, and can be specified as a hard lawn - drive over for light vehicles, when provided with a well designed subbase. Exec. has been designed specifically so that it can be installed with ground anchors for application with high water velocities.

Both these durable concrete units may be used in most saline or polluted conditions, interlock laterally and offer a secure yet flexible lining. The products have been specified in applications, designed to charge our dwindling ground water reservoir and to provide a perfect regime for establishing vegetation.

Terraforce erosion control products have successfully been installed on river banks subject to water velocities of up to 6m/sec. and on estuaries / beaches with moderate wave action. See more examples of storm water control and river bank protection.
