Reinforced Slopes

A type of slope that has been reinforced with geosynthetic materials to make it more stable, prevent erosion, and keep the slope from collapsing.

Common Problems & Available Solutions


Looking for a sustainable and cost-effective solution for reinforced slopes? 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 Reinforced Slopes

Reinforced slopes are used to increase the stability and strength of natural or man-made slopes. These slopes may be found in a variety of settings, including road embankments, retaining walls, and earth dams.

Read More

To reinforce a slope, a variety of techniques can be used, including the installation of geosynthetics, such as geotextiles or geogrids, the use of vegetation to increase the slope's resistance to erosion, soft/hard armor solutions, or the placement of rock or concrete retaining walls. The specific approach used will depend on the nature of the slope and the desired level of reinforcement. In all cases, the goal is to increase the slope's ability to resist the forces that could cause it to fail, such as the weight of soil, the impact of water, or other external variables.
