ERTEC 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.
