The Premium Flooding and Erosion Control System for New Zealand

In December of 2021 the Porewa Stream broke out from its bed and eroded several acres of land. Once the flood waters had receded and the stream returned to its channel, the area was filled, and trees and vegetation were planted to attempt to reinforce the bank. However before any vegetation could begin to take hold, a second flood occurred in May 2022, completely destroying the repairs and vegetation. A truly effective solution was needed...

Just south of the town of Bulls, the Rangitikei River meanders, eroding the west bank. Flooding during Cyclone Gabrielle accelerated the erosion, almost reaching the stop-bank. Horizons Regional Council employed contractors to backfill and repair the 400m long damaged section of riverbank using Fortifier 4-tonne Erosion Control Rock Bags filled with local, ungraded river run.
