ERTEC Bank
Guard™
|
Bank Guard (BG) is a high performance, cost
effective system for bank, bluff, and cliff stabilization for river, stream,
wetland and lake environments. The
system supports habitat enhancement. |
|
|
|
|
BG is configured to simulate a natural slope. The system can be installed without heavy
equipment using low skilled labor. The
system is ideal for remote sites. |

The bank is
immediately stabilized. |
Two months later, native grasses and willows have taken root – planted in and around the structure. |
Three years
later, the structure remains firmly in place, with constant forces of
currents, tides, wind, and an unusual pounding from driftwood. Vegetation has grown profusely around the
structure restoring complex shoreline habitat. |
