HY
Key facts
Graded protection by flow velocity: cement mat or rigid units at the toe and high-flow zones, ecological bags with geocell and geotextile filter on the face, with a complete drainage system first.
Configuration must be confirmed by project design documentsMaterial Configuration by Layer
| Layer | Recommended material | Function / rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Drainage | Crest cutoff, face chutes, platform drains | Control runoff before protection |
| Toe protection | Cement mat / gabion / masonry | Resist scour |
| Face protection | Ecological bags + geocell + geotextile | Erosion control and greening |
| Anchorage | Crest anchorage, clips, pins | Stability |
| Note: configurations are common practice; the final system and specifications must follow the project design documents and governing codes. | ||

Frequently Asked Questions
Bag or cement mat on the face?
Cement mat where flow velocity is high and fast hard facing is needed; ecological bags where vegetation and landscape are required. Toe zones typically use hard protection regardless.
