River Bank Stabalisation
Types of river bank stabalisation are as follows:-
- Retaining walls
- Soil and cement
- Vegetations
- Sacks and blocks
- Mattresses and gabions
- Windrows and trenches
There are three types of retaining walls and these are:-
- Sheet piling walls - easily installed and very workable
- Cantilever walls - reinforced concrete is used and an anchor can be used for extra stability
- Gravity walls - the size of the structure helps prevent passive and active walls be resistant
Soil and Cement
- Can be used in sandy soils when vegetation will not grow
Vegetations
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Great for habitat
- Lowest cost for riverbank protection measures
Sacks
- Filled with cement and soil mixture
- The cobblestone effect does look good
- Easier to place on steep slopes
Blocks
- Drainage through the openings of cast block
- Vegetation can grow down through the holes in the blocks to strengthen the bank
- Easy to walk over
- Will move to suit small changes in the bank shape

Mattress Gabions
- Mattress gabions are tied together to protect the embankment
- These are placed on a level graded riverbank slope
- Natural vegetation will probably grow through
Gabions
- Gabions are rectangular wire baskets loaded with small stones
- Gabions are used in corrosive environments and therefore are made from heavy galvanized steel coated with PVC.
- Gabions are used to keep steep river banks stable
- Gabions have a good record performance
Windrows and Trenches
- Windrows are stacking erosion-resistant products on a riverbank
- Trenches are alike windrows but are buried so as not to be seen
- Easier to install on steep slopes
