Typically, engineers specify the use of large riprap or expensive steel-reinforced concrete paving to protect storm water channels from erosion. StrataWeb offers several options and benefits for channel protection. Strata channels can be vegetated, rock filled, concrete paved or utilize a combination depending on the site conditions. In channels where water velocities are under 6ft / sec, StrataWeb can be stone filled utilizing small stone or vegetated where water flow is intermittent. When velocities exceed 6 ft / sec, StrataWeb can be filled with concrete eliminating the need for concrete forms reinforcing steel and specialized labor. The flexible nature of the StrataWeb system allows it to conform to the grade during installation providing more contact with the underlying subgrade. StrataWeb can also be installed over impermeable liners where water infiltration is not desired such as irrigation canals. StrataWeb will significantly reduce both cost and construction time over conventional storm channel design.
