A stackable growth media filled porous fabric block-shaped container includes either an internal seed carrier to facilitate the growth of various plants from within the block, or an outer three-dimensional open structure media retention sleeve to support external growth of vegetation via hydromulching into the sleeve. A plurality of the containers may be stacked or laid side by side to create a vegetated retaining wall or a vegetated slope facing. The porous fabric block-shaped containers are filled with growth medium that encourages plant growth, while allowing proper drainage and moisture retention. The seed carrier is a degradable or porous material coated with or supporting seeds and other amendments which facilitate plant growth. The open structure media retention sleeve includes loops of filaments to increase friction between blocks and to hold hydromulch on exposed surfaces.

A backflow security enclosure for maintained equipment is disclosed. The security enclosure includes a plurality of side panels joinable along an adjacent edge with an elongate rod. The elongate rod is received in a channel of a plurality of sockets disposed in a spaced apart relation along an adjacent edge of the plurality of panels. The plurality of sockets may be arranged in a hinge type configuration. A top panel is supported by the plurality of side panels when joined. A locking mechanism secures the top panel to at least one of the plurality of side panels. The side panels may be secured to a ground or wall surface to surround the equipment to be repaired or serviced by a technician.

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.

A vegetation partition wire mesh, for use in the vicinity of shores, coasts or roads, includes an outer wire mesh formed by upwardly bending left and right ends of a planar wire mesh, first partition wire meshes formed by upwardly bending front and rear ends of the planar wire mesh, and inner barriers. The first partition wire meshes are fixed inside the outer wire mesh while forming outer walls at front and rear ends thereof. Outer wire mesh nonwoven fabric along the inner surface of the outer wire mesh covers the outer wire mesh. A first partitioning nonwoven fabric along inner surfaces of the upwardly bent portions of the first partition wire meshes covers the upwardly bent portions of the first partition wire meshes. A mixture of soil and seeds is spread at high pressure to fill the inside of the outer wire mesh divided into a plurality of spaces.

A flood control system that is configured to be deployed so as to control floodwaters wherein the flood control system is provided in multi-cell configurations of modular receptacles. The flood control system includes a plurality of modular receptacles having four walls wherein the four walls are movably coupled so as to transition intermediate a folded position and a deployed position. The walls of the flood control system include a plurality of apertures and corner structures that are helical coil in shape. A locking pin is provided to be operably coupled intermediate modular receptacles so as to provide a mechanical connection therebetween. A liner is disposed within the interior volume of the modular receptacles and is mateable shaped therewith. A lid member is further included and is operable to cover the plurality of modular receptacles. The lid member further includes locking aperture rows so as to inhibit access.

A confinement structure comprises one or more open cells (70) for confinement, in use, of particulate fill materials such as soil, sand or aggregate. The cells (70) comprise walls (72) formed of a composite material comprising a polymeric grid layer laminated to a fabric layer. The walls (72) may be formed from a strip of the composite material comprising one or more living hinges. The cells (70) may be provided with skirt portions (74) that extend from at least some of the walls (72).

There is disclosed a geogrid in the form of an integral, mesh structure comprising molecularly orientated polymeric material, the mesh structure formed of interconnecting mesh defining elements including elongate tensile elements wherein the molecular orientation of the mesh structure is uniform throughout the extent thereof. A method of making the geogrid is also described and its use in stabilizing, reinforcing or strengthening a mass of particulate material.

A security barrier for deployment in crowd control and/or containment, the security barrier being capable of adopting at least two configurations. In a first configuration the security barrier is erected for deployment and comprises a compartment bounded at its front by a front panel for providing a barricade, at its rear by a rear panel of lower height than the front panel, at its sides by respective side panels pivotally connecting the rear and front panels, and at its bottom by a bottom panel connected at least two of the front panel, the rear panel, and the respective side panels. In its second configuration the security barrier is collapsed for storage and/or transportation.

The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional drainage device suitable for a loose filling slope and methods for constructing the three-dimensional drainage device. The slope includes a stable stratum and a filling soil stratum above the stable stratum. The three-dimensional drainage device includes a surface drainage mechanism, a shallow drainage mechanism and a deep drainage mechanism. The surface drainage mechanism includes one or more catchment canals arranged on an upper surface of the filling soil stratum and a pool arranged on an edge of the filling soil stratum. The shallow drainage mechanism includes one or more first collecting pipes. The deep drainage mechanism includes one or more drainage gabions and one or more second collecting pipes.
