ProWattle™ for Slope Stabilization
|
ProWattle™ is
a high performing and low cost alternative to fiber rolls (wattles) used to
protect slopes from erosion and perimeters from sediment movement during
construction. On slopes it is
typically installed in combination with a spray-on soil stabilizer. Unlike other solutions, ProWattle™
tends to spread, not concentrate flow.
Undercutting is minimal.
ProWattle™ is significantly less labor intensive to install and
can quickly be removed and reused.
Because it packs nearly 10 times as dense as wattles, it provides
dramatic logistical cost savings and worker safety benefits. Made from 91% Post Consumer Recycled
Content, Reusable, Recyclable at end of life. |

ERTEC ProWattle™
is supplied in 7 foot segments which interconnect. Each segment is anchored with two 6”
nails and supported by 1”x1”x12” stakes placed on 5 foot
centers. ProWattle™ resists rill
propagation because it minimizes undercutting and spreads flow, minimizing
water velocity. Installation requires
less trenching, fewer and smaller stakes.
It is easier to carry and spread out on a slope and is safer for
installers. |

On a multi-phase
project, ProWattle can be used multiple times. When considered with ERTEC’s significantly
higher packaging density one can see the massive logistics benefit. The labor required to stage, transport,
move and install ProWattle is significantly reduced as compared to fiber
rolls (wattles). Up to 6000 feet can
fit on a single pallet. |
