Revegetation Contractors install a range of erosion control structures. The structures vary from weirs, retention and detention basins, shutes, reinforced banks, contour hedges, diversion banks, rock walls, gabion mattresses, baskets etc.

Structures can be designed for either temporary or permanent positions. In all cases the use of any erosion control structure requires planning and design.

This is necessary to establish flows, erosion risk and site character. These, in turn, are used to determine appropriate material positioning and performance standards.
