Coastal Erosion Prevention Using Kyowa Rock Bags
The coastal environment is constantly threatened by weather changes and human activities. Sadly, these lead to issues such as coastal erosion, endangering the ecosystems’ habitats and infrastructure. Halting key marine and port activities is, of course, not an option. Neither is completely shielding them from weather changes. However, you can still implement coastal erosion prevention measures!

Many countries in the world nowadays use rock bags for erosion control, benefiting immensely from the solutions they offer.
A Roundup of the Many Uses of the Kyowa Rock Bags Here’s how you can use Kyowa rocks bags in ports and coastal areas:
Protect wharves and ship berths. Especially from revetment and toe scour
Where can you place these rock bags? Try them along eroded seashores, beaches, shorelines, and tidal areas. Use them to create temporary or permanent solutions against coastal water erosion
Moreover, you can install rock bags subsea. Safeguard marine pipelines and cables from damage
Deploy them around piers, bridge pylons, piles, jetties, and other marine structures
Use Kyowa filter units to level an uneven seabed, lakebed, or riverbed
Build rock groynes
The Big Deal About Rock Bags
Are you creating a coastal erosion and sediment control plan for your area? In this case, you need a solution that’s favourable for both your infrastructure and ecosystem.
After years of research and testing, rock bags have proven to be THE most applicable method!
A 2-tonne rock bag withstands velocities of up to 4.7m/sec. Moreover, a 4-tonne rock bag can withstand 5.3m/sec. If you need more proof of their efficacy, check out some features;
