We recently completed the final phase of installation on the Arbroath scheme with one of our Flood Prevention products the Vegetated MSE Bag wall system.
MSE Bags were used across three phases of works, in which embankments were built between multiple headwalls, culverts and a historical stone bridge.
Initially, gabion baskets where specified, however, by working with the client, Angus Council, and with the obvious green / carbon benefits of Vegetated MSE Bags, we managed to flip this over, with full approval from SEPA.
Working with main contractor Morrison Construction, who were a joy to work with, we supplied and installed nearly 4000 units, and when the final build was complete, we visited site to hydro seed the walls.
Now, with a little bit of Scottish drizzle and some sunshine, the walls will be returned back to nature in no time ?????
If you have a project which would benefit from a carbon friendly alternative to gabion baskets, brick and mortar or other heavy engineered retaining wall products, give the team a call at HBB GeoSales Ltd to discuss.
