High-Performance Channels/Ditches

Designed to move large volumes of water quickly and efficiently in areas where high velocity water flow is prevalent.

Common Problems & Available Solutions


Looking for a sustainable and cost-effective solution for lining channels and ditches? Consider using turf reinforcement mats! These mats provide a vegetated "green" lining that helps to reduce erosion, improve water quality, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the channel or ditch.

What are High-Performance Channels/Ditches?

High performance channels and ditches are designed to convey water at high velocities while also resisting erosion and scouring. These channels and ditches may be found in a variety of settings, including flood control systems, irrigation systems, and hydraulic structures.

Read More

When water flows at high velocities, it can cause erosion and scouring of the channel or ditch bed and banks, leading to the need for frequent maintenance and repair. To improve the performance of channels and ditches with high velocity flow and those that are more prone to erosion, solutions such as turf reinforcement mats or hydraulically applied mulches are an excellent way to reinforce the channel or ditch. Geosynthetics provide tensile strength and resistance to erosion, allowing the channel or ditch to withstand the forces of flowing water. In addition to improving the performance of channels and ditches, the use of geosynthetics can also reduce the overall maintenance and repair costs associated with these structures.
