The present application relates to the technical field of ecological environment remediation, and in particular to a breathable geosynthetic clay liner and a production process therefor. The breathable geosynthetic clay liner of the present application includes an upper breathable layer, a lower breathable layer, and a breathable and impermeable sand layer sandwiched between the upper breathable layer and the lower breathable layer; and the breathable and impermeable sand layer includes breathable and impermeable particles and expansive particles. The breathable geosynthetic clay liner of the present application is convenient to construct, high in production efficiency, and free of dust during a construction process.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of turf reinforcement mats that include spun yarns and/or multifilament yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

A protective device, in particular an anti-erosion protective device, preferably a geotextile, is at least configured to be planarly spread over a surface, in particular an earth surface, that is to be protected, and which is at least largely implemented of a plurality of synthetic fibers interconnected via force-fit connection and/or substance-to-substance bond and arranged in such a way that they form an essentially three-dimensional structuring, wherein at least a large portion of the synthetic fibers are at least largely biodegradable.

Embodiments provide a quay wall attachment and a method for promoting biodiversity in a marine environment. The quay wall attachment includes a quad plate and a module. The quad plate is secured to a portion of a quay wall located underwater. The module includes a coral module, a fish module, a plant module, and combinations of the same. The coral module includes living corals and is secured to the quad plate. The fish module includes a hollow space and is secured to the quad plate. The plant module includes living marine plants and a hollow space, and is secured to the quad plate.

Disclosed herein is an eco-friendly, flexible rope net gabion (5) for facilitating scour protection. Said flexible rope net gabion is packed to the extent of 45% with rocks or boulders. The packing to the extent of 45% allows the flexible rope net gabion to be evenly position around the structure (100) to provide uniform anchorage.

In an exemplary embodiment, a system for making tied block mat with a border includes a mold having an array of mold cavities; and a hopper that receives a hardenable paste and is spaced from the mold to receive a sheet of mesh material therebetween, the hopper having an opening for depositing the hardenable paste into selected mold cavities, the hopper forming a filling zone with the mold wherein the hardenable paste flows through the opening into the selected mold cavities, and a blocked zone where the hardenable paste is prevented from entering other selected mold cavities of the mold; whereby the tied block mat is formed wherein the hardenable paste in the selected mold cavities becomes embedded in the sheet of mesh material in the filling zone, and a border is formed in the blocked zone where the hardenable paste is blocked from entering the other selected mold cavities.

An internally braced synthetic mattress is a geosynthetic structure made of a geosynthetic material. The structure has a bottom side, a top side and at least one upright side joining at least a portion of the bottom side and top side. The at least one upright side is formed by an upright fold of the geosynthetic material. A horizontal bar is woven through a portion of the bottom side of the geosynthetic structure and joined with an upright bar and a diagonal bar to form at least one angle brace to support at least a portion of the geosynthetic structure. The geosynthetic structure contains a filler to prevent/reduce erosion.
