Nowadays, road erosion control is of the essence. Roads, as the core type of infrastructure of transportation networks, are susceptible to depreciation over time. With increased usage, roadways can sustain damages, the most extreme form being sinkholes. They can disrupt daily travel and transportation, inconveniencing public life.

Moreover, roads and railways that run along waterways and bridges face the risk of erosion as the soil can get washed away easily during floods. Even slopes are more prone to erosion as the soil structure is unstable.

Placing them along riverbanks, riverbeds, creek banks, and road embankments can help in stabilizing the sediment structure.
