Please use 3D glasses.Thanks to David Marsh. BEFORE: Greenwell Point, Nowra. Rock bags installed to protect the point. AFTER : Greenwell Point, Nowra. Rock bags installed to protect the point. Bridge scour protection, Russell River, North Qld Rock bags installed at Wamberal Beach, NSW The bags are durable for 30 years of UV exposure and are very resistant to impacts and pressure. The bags will prevent flood damage and erosion. They are easily placed and will have excellent resistance to river water. As can be seen very little manual labour is used in the installation process. Usually no riverbed preparation is required reducing labour costs. BEFORE: river bank before, when rock bags installed and vegetation still to grow. AFTER: vegetation has taken hold and uses the rock bags as foundation for good root growth The bags are placed at the foot of a river bank to provide erosion protection and stability. BEFORE: Ecogreen rock bags are made of recycled polyester mesh. AFTER: The mesh bags are porous allowing oxygen and water to support plant growth. AFTER: rock bags installed with vegetation now taking hold and providing even more protection against erosion. DURING: The rock filter bags have been around since 197 so have a proven lifespan of over 30 years. They have been tested for a lifespan of 50 years in saline water. BEFORE: rock bags used to provide erosion protection and convert this concrete lined drain to vegetation based system. AFTER: with the vegetation taking hold, the 'natural' aspects of this creek return from what was previously concreted over. The bags can be lifted from one point – a steel ring- which makes installation possible without lots of manual labour. The bags are used to reconstruct the embankment which has suffered erosion and subsidence. There have been over 17,000 civil applications with Kyowa bags in Japan. BEFORE: harsh concrete banks need scour protection from erosion by rock bags. AFTER: Local stone can be used to fill the mesh bags. Small sized stones have been used to optimise flexible formation of the bags to the surrounding bags and ground. Placement of Kyowa bags on a river bank for stability. The bags are easily piled and form a stable wall. The bags are made of recycled polyester and are durable in saline marine water. They are porous and encourage fauna and flora to develop. AFTER: The rock bags provide a solid platform for the natural vegetation to take hold and further manage the erosion of the embankment. BEFORE: Subsidence has caused river bank and road to collapse. The rock bags have a lifetime minimum of 30 years against UV rays. The Ecogreen bags are made from recycled polyester & are green coloured and suited to a river landscape. The bags are used at the front of the bank as foot protection. They are laid flat and adapt well to the canal bed surface. They will provide anti-scouring protection for the river bed. The nets are easily placed in position with a single point for lifting. The Japanese Civil Defence forces have used Kyowa bags since 1996. Kyowa rock bags line the bank of the river to protect the embankment from flood erosion. In remote areas, the rock bags can be carried in and filled with local rock. Excellent resistance to currents: 2 tonne bag up to 4.7 m/sec, 4 tonne bag up to 5.3 m/sec. The bags are step piled and will absorb wave energy well. They will accumulate sediments. BEFORE: rock bags being installed on a river bank to protect against erosion. Kyowa rock bags, marine life create their own home. Usually no riverbed preparation is required for installation of the bags.
