What are Hard Armor Solutions?

Hard Armor is a term used to describe permanent stabilization solutions, which exist in many forms, both vegetated and non-vegetated. Such solutions are indicated when water velocities in channels or ditches require very robust reinforcement to prevent erosion problems.

What are the benefits of Hard Armor Solutions?

Hard Armor Solutions offer alternative approaches to traditional construction techniques for high flow applications such as concrete-lined pilot channels or critical slopes. Depending on the application, the correctly selected hard armor solution will optimize the overall performance and budget of a project. After gathering information about your project and application, GeoSolutions can help you evaluate the cost of multiple hard armor solutions to help you optimize your project.
