After prolonged Southerly winds coupled with storm surf and surge tides in early July of 2024, the Sheffield Beach beaches were subject to large scale erosion which undermined and scoured away existing frontage embankments belonging to long standing private homes along Hewitt Drive.
Emergency repairs were required to prevent further erosion and embankment collapse. Sycor Construction consulted with Gilbert Geosynthetics and a repair system incorporating the GeoRock Sandbag was decided upon.
The GeoRock bag is tough and durable and treated against UV breakdown. These bags are also capable of withstanding heavy wave action.
Non-Woven Geotextile Sandbags
Such as our brand “GeoRock” sandbags are made from polymer fibres that are highly permeable, allowing water to pass through while retaining soil and sediment. The non-woven fabric is of a heavy, durable grade and treated against UV degradation. They are often used for erosion control and shoreline stabilisation aswell as retaining wall structures and landscaping applications.
