Erosion Protection Systems (EPS) is an internationally recognised company specialising in the supply and installation of grout filled revetment mattress products for erosion control and flood repair works. With 30 years of experience in this field, we offer a history of knowledge and engineering expertise unmatched by our competitors, both in Australia and overseas. The products provide a cost effective alternative to the traditional methods that include stone pitching, sand bags, gabions, rock mattresses, reinforced concrete and rip rap protection.
In comparison to the above methods of flood protection, the fabric formed mattress products offer significant cost savings and are readily installed under water. The unparalleled speed of installation allows for the fast tracking of large-scale projects, thus providing additional costs savings for project managers and clients alike. The products can also be coloured to blend in with their natural environment.
The revetment mattress is a double-layered fabric that acts as a formwork to allow the injection of a high strength grout between the layers. The resulting finished product acts as a barrier to prevent erosion that may otherwise occur on a number of engineering structures, including:
Wharf and Harbour embankments- Bridge abutments and road shoulder protection
- Culverts and spillways
- Seawalls and river linings
- Embankment and lake linings
- Sludge lagoons and aeration ponds
- Boat ramps and hovercraft pads
