An edge stabilization assembly for inclined surfaces having a synthetic tuft assembly; a water-permeable polymer mesh connected on one side of the synthetic tuft assembly, and a tuft-free non-permeable woven polymer mat connected on the other side of the synthetic tuft assembly, and a plurality of fasteners.

Systems and methods for soil improvement foundation isolation and load spreading are provided. The systems and methods provided herein relate to isolation of structural foundations from soil improvement elements and distributing stress from high stiffness elements to lower stiffness materials. A shear load transfer reduction system may include one or more ground improvement elements for supporting an applied load. A shear break element may be positioned above one or more ground improvement elements. The shear break elements may be configured to have low interface shear strength. Further, systems and methods are provided for creating an engineered slip surface for reducing shear stresses between a laterally loaded foundation and a rigid foundation support element and wherein two slip pads are provided that form the engineered slip surface.

Drive-over berm systems that protect raised sections of protective containment liners from truck and heavy equipment damage are disclosed. A ramped outer berm abuts an elevated portion of the liner, which may be raised to a desired height by an insert positioned under the liner. A ramped inner berm may about the elevated portion of the liner, and a connector plate may be used to secure the outer and inner ramped berms together. The height of the raised portion of the liner is selected to provide the desired sump capacity of the containment area. The inner berm and/or outer berm may be provided in sections that can be connected end-to-end.

This disclosure presents an anchoring element (20) for a charging station foundation (1), the charging station foundation (1) configured to receive a charging station (30) adapted to electrically charge a vehicle, wherein the anchoring element (20) comprises at least 50 weight percent plastic material and is adapted to receive first threaded fasteners (15) by means of which the anchoring element (20) may be attached to a foundation member (10) of the charging station foundation (1) and to receive second threaded fasteners (25) by means of which the charging station (30) may be attached to the anchoring element (20). The disclosure further presents a method of installing a charging station foundation, a method of installing a charging station and a use of an anchoring element (20) comprising at least 50 weight percent plastic material.

A geoturf tube for stabilization of erodible ground surfaces said geoturf tube formed of a geotextile fabric in a tubular shape and configured to contain sands but allow water to pass through and a tufted tensile elements cover attached to at least a portion of the geotextile fabric. Alternatively, a geoturf cover of a geotextile and a plurality of tufted tensile elements installed as a separate layer above a geotube to serve as a protective barrier and extend the service life of the geotube. A method of stabilization of erodible surfaces with a geoturf tube or a geoturf cover is disclosed.

The present invention relates to an anti-erosion system made of geo-synthetic material, preferably of polysteel raw material (polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) mixture) instead of only polypropylene or polyester or nylon, resulting in a compromise between the mechanical properties of polypropylene, the chemical properties of polyethylene, and the good resistance to the environmental agents achieved through the incorporation of molecular chain stabilizers. The fraction of PP should range from 50% to 90% and the fraction of PE from 10% to 50%.

The inner berm and/or outer berm may be provided in sections that can be connected end-to-end, thereby reducing the weights and lengths of the components of the drive-over berm systems.

A temporary all plastic erosion control blanket is configured to slow water runoff, to provide sediment and erosion control, and to enhance re-vegetation. The temporary all plastic erosion control blanket is fully degradable within less than one year. The temporary all plastic erosion control blanket is a warp knitted structure formed from polyolefin or polyamide materials and includes integral visual stake placement indicia.

The present invention relates to an erosion control apparatus and methods of using and installing the apparatus. The apparatus is constructed to prevent erosion of soil during typical weather or tidal conditions and adverse weather events. The apparatus can include a plurality of anchored rolls and soil lifts operative to stabilize the shoreline.
