Erosion Control and Earth Stabilization
|
 Severe erosion
is a major environmental concern for coastal regions, harbor structures
and along rivers, lakes and streams.
Amcrete Products,
Inc. has the answer with innovative, effective and esthetically
pleasing precast concrete.

|
Interlocking, Modular Concrete Armor System
|
| |
 The
Armormat™ solution. Armormat™ is an engineered
revetment system of high strength concrete modules. A patented
advancement over traditional solutions, Armormat™ is specifically
designed for coastal and hydraulic engineering structures that
must withstand the erosive effects of water, storm driven waves,
turbulent flows, high velocity currents or sheet ice movement.
The precast
modules interlock making Armormat™ structurally stable,
flexible, permeable and durable.
Modular fabrication, easy installation, and maintenance free
performance combine for life cycle economy.
Plus, Armormat's™ clean lines and custom-specified surfaces
offer an attractive appearance that stays neat looking by minimizing
the buildup of debris.
|
| A
wide range of applications. Invented in 1981 and proven
in a variety of installations, Armormat™ allows the economical
construction of a wide range of structures |
1. Coastal revetments
2. Protective dam facings
3. Permanent boat ramps (built under water)
4. Linings for drainage systems
5. Aprons to present scour at culverts and bridges
6. Pre- engineered pavements for industrial or agricultural
purposes.
|
 Use
Armormat™ for coastal and harbor structures along rivers,
lakes or streams. To line channels, culverts and canals. Or
to create boats ramps high-strengh pavements and retention or
sedimentation basins.
Typical
modules measure 3 feet by 4 feet. Module thickness is designed
for project requirements and is typically 4 to 8 inches, with
greater thickness possible.
Raised
geometric baffles can be incorporated in the exposed surfaces
to dissipate hydraulic energy and reduce wave run up.

 |
Armorbloks™
are un-reinforced concrete interlocking armor units specifically
designed for use in the building of coastal protective
structures and rivers engineering works. Their structural
integrity and high stability factor allow their use for
a wide range of civil engineering projects including their
use to protect soils from the erosive force of high water
velocities.
Armorblok™
was developed after many years of research on the stability
and structural analysis of other concrete armor shapes
developed throughout the world. This evaluation provide
the Armorblock™ design with the following advantages:
|
1.Ease of manufacturing
2.Structural integrity
3.High porosity
4.Rapid placement |
 |
5.Excellent interlocking
6.High specific gravity when required
7.High stability factor |
Armorblok™
shape factor is suited for random or patterned placement
for control of severe erosion problems caused by heavy
wave action or torrential flow conditions.
It
provides great economy in areas where armor stone is not
readily available or the quality of stone is questionable
to assure longevity of the works.
On site production higher stability factor plus a void
ratio in excess of 56% assures the designer of real economy
as compared to other structures . |

Armorblok™
is designed for specific civil and hydraulic engineering
applications. |
Dike production
Dams
Energy Dissipating Structures
Hurricane Barriers |
Armorblok™ structures provide speed of erection
plus excellent stability for coastal and river engineering
works that demand permeability and flexibility to meet
varying design criteria.
|
Armorbloks
provide the designer a proven method for repair and
construction of breakwaters, jetties and groins.
Armorbloks
provide positive protection for marine structures
endangered from scour and severe wave action. |
Armorbloks
are available for emergency projects to safeguard
valuable property from severe erosions and buildings failures
from coastal storms.
Armorblok™
provides structural integrity and ease of installation
for major port project development. A high porosity
factor plus excellent stability mean a significant savings
in material and labor for completion of your project.
Units can be produced locally or cast on site as they
require less land area for stockpiling then other precast
armor units.
Compare
these advantages No seasonal delays, availability,
precast uniformity, stability, rugged interlock, ease
of installation, longevity, flexibility, permeability,
versatility, salvability. |
