Soil Erosion Control Services

Service Overview

Soil Erosion is the loss of soil from the ground surface. It is a process that is always occurring but it can happen faster if we misuse the land or if the ground surface is not adequately protected with vegetation and drainage swales. The rate of erosion can be increased by removing or limited plant cover, poor grading plans, wind, and rain water runoff. Two of the most common types of soil erosion are water and wind erosion. Water or splash erosion is the detachment and airborne movement of small soil particles caused by the impact of raindrops on soil. Sheet erosion is the result of heavy rain on bare soil where water flows as a sheet down any gradient carrying soil particles. Where precipitation rates exceed soil infiltration rates, runoff occurs. Gully erosion results where water flows along a linear depression eroding a trench or gully. Wind erosion is the movement of rock and/or sediment by the wind erosion can be reduced by installing windbreaks near the problem area. This include planting of trees, shrubs, or other vegetation, usually perpendicular or nearly so to be principal wind direction. The wind causes dust particles to be lifted and therefore moved to another region. Wind erosion generally occurs in areas with little or no vegetation, often areas where there is not enough rainfall to support vegetation. As ABUCONS engineer can design a solution to stabilize the ground surface and prevent further surface erosion. ABUCONS employs state of the art Cable Concrete technology to provide the required solution.
