Erosion Control

ACS was tasked by the Navy to assess and repair erosional features within a 38-acre temporary impact area that included steep cut slopes. ACS discovered the installed brow ditches and connected storm water conveyance systems were becoming inundated with sediment. ACS designed and implemented a multifaceted approach to correcting these issues, restoring function to the stormwater systems, and stabilizing the soils on the slopes.

Erosion Control

A slope above access points to a critical area on Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar showed concerning signs of serious erosion. The slope face was too steep to support typical vegetation and would slough off on the roadway below during any precipitation event. ACS was tasked with solving this complicated erosion issue. Ultimately, a plan was put forward to utilize a block system that would secure the face of this slope and avoid sometimes antiquated methods like shotcrete which often require regular maintenance and do sometimes fail completely. ACS worked closely with the managers at Miramar to stay on track and provide updates on the status of the project.

The final project proved very successful. The erosion control block wall is not only a near maintenance free solution, but promises to last for longer than nearly any other control method.
