Erosion Repair Florida- Before
Erosion Repair Florida- Geobags being used to reclaim shoreline.
A key component of erosion repair and shoreline restoration is using material to ‘fix’ the slope of the shore. Erosion can occur over time causing slopes to become dangerously steep in addition to possibly no longer meeting compliance regulations. Dragonfly Pond Works utilizes Geobags for our shoreline restoration projects.
How They Work
Geobags are placed along the shoreline stacked on top of each other. The number of bags used depends on the severity of the erosion. Sediment from the bottom of the lake or pond is dredged directly into the bags. The bottom bag remains in place with material inside of it, while the top bag is split open and the dredged material is used to re-grade the shoreline in the erosion repair process.
The top bag is split open, exposing the dredged material that has been allowed to dry.
The erosion repair specialists grade the dredged material to the desired slope.
Matting is placed over the dredged material to help prevent washout, then sod is placed over everything.
The shoreline has been restored to a safe and natural slope.
Geobag System Shoreline Restoration Highlights
Long-Term Erosion Control
The base bag acts as armor against future erosion.
Anchor
Geobag remains in place under material weight.
Filters Run-Off
The bags erosion matting will filter run off before it enters the lake or pond.
Equipment
The slope can be graded by hand, which eliminates need for heavy equipment.
Vegetation
Shrubbery can be planted on slope and aquatic plants can be planted under water along shoreline.
Material Used
The Geobag is filled with material dredged from the bottom of the lake or pond. We have found that 99% of the time no outside material is needed.
Hurricanes/Flooding
We have installations that have remained undamaged during hurricanes and large fluctuations in water level.
Slope
Able to provide a gentle slope down to the water. Our crews are experienced and able to grade the slope to the desired degree.
Frontage Reclaimed
We have used the bags to reclaim up to 25 feet of shoreline width on storm damaged shorelines.
Experienced Crew
Geobags require crews that are experienced and trained, which we are readily able to provide.
