Cliff Stabilizers
Cliff Stabilization Systems are engineered to stabilize loose-morphology bluffs and mitigate erosion at elevation transitions.
Devices are driven into the escarpment, forming a lattice of cubbies. The completed installation could be slurry hydroseeded, sown with seed or plugs, or left to be naturally vegetated.
Sprouting flora sends root into the sediment, binding the loose matrix. Blends of vegetation can be fashioned to also provide bird, butterfly, etc habitat and sustenance.
The frames can be fabricated from biodegradable or mycelium plastics, allowing the frame structure to fully decompose.
The devices are installed on an eroding bluff, and then native plants are planted in the cubbies and between devices. These plants protect the bluff and provide ecosystem habitat for countless native bees and butterflies.
