PERMENENTLY STOP SEAWALL EROSION
Addressing soil erosion is not just about repairing damage; it’s about taking proactive steps to ensure the long-term stability and effectiveness of seawalls. Shore Shield uses innovative techniques, like foam injection for erosion prevention, and offers sustainable solutions to reinforce these crucial defenses, safeguarding our coasts and communities for the future.
Do you have holes behind your seawall?
Seawalls are built to protect against erosion, but sometimes, erosion can occur behind the wall. This could be due to water seeping through or around the wall, gradually removing soil and creating holes. Shore shield has a permanent solution for this.
Does your seawall have cracks?
Water seeping through cracks in the seawall can erode the soil or foundation behind it, creating unseen cavities or voids that weaken the wall's structure. It is important that these cracks be addressed on both sides of the wall before more extensive damage is done.
Neglecting soil erosion can have dire consequences:
- Structural Damage: Erosion can lead to cracks, leaning, or complete collapse of seawalls.
- Safety Risks: Compromised seawalls increase the risk of flooding and property damage during storms.
- Environmental Impact: Eroded soil can disrupt marine habitats and lead to loss of biodiversity.
- Financial Burden: Repairing or replacing damaged seawalls incurs substantial costs.
