Erosion Control

Erosion Control

Erosion control protects slopes, waterways, and disturbed ground from surface degradation caused by rainfall, runoff, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles. Whether the goal is to prevent sediment movement, stabilize newly cut slopes, or protect infrastructure after a wildfire, Rock Supremacy designs and installs erosion control systems that match the terrain, soil type, and long-term stabilization needs of the site.

Overview

Comprehensive Erosion Control Solutions

Left unmanaged, erosion can undermine slopes and retaining structures, increase sediment load in waterways, expose rockfall hazards by weakening overburden, lead to costly maintenance and washouts, damage access roads, utilities, and infrastructure, and trigger small slides that grow into large failures. Effective erosion control is a critical final step in long-term slope stability.

Common applications include new roadway embankments and cut slopes, slopes disturbed by grading or construction, drainage channels and culverts, post-wildfire slope stabilization, mine reclamation and industrial restoration, landslide repair requiring final surface protection, and agricultural and rural road maintenance zones.

Rock Supremacy provides erosion control solutions that integrate directly with your site's geotechnical stabilization needs: installation on steep or inaccessible slopes using rope access, coordination with rockfall mitigation and slope stabilization crews, experience with DOT, environmental, and stormwater compliance requirements, rapid post-fire mobilization to protect infrastructure before storms, in-house equipment for hydromulching, grading, and material placement, and engineered solutions tailored to hydrology and soil characteristics.

Erosion control is necessary when the site has exposed soil from construction or slope repair, post-fire instability and hydrophobic conditions, surface runoff creating rilling or sediment movement, slopes lacking vegetation or suffering washouts, soil conditions susceptible to sloughing or surficial failures, or environmental compliance requirements for stormwater controls.

How We Do It

Proven methods and specialized techniques that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

Horizontal Drains
Horizontal Drains icon

Horizontal Drains

Horizontal drains are drilled drainage systems designed to lower groundwater pressure and improve the stability of slopes, embankments, and rock faces. By relieving pore pressure, these drains significantly reduce the risk of landslides, sloughing, and long-term slope movement.

Shotcrete (Dry Mix)
Shotcrete (Dry Mix) icon

Shotcrete (Dry Mix)

Dry-mix shotcrete conveys dry material by air and hydrates at the nozzle, providing a versatile concrete application method ideal for remote sites, repair work, and intermittent applications where portable equipment and adjustable water content are advantages.

Shotcrete (Wet Mix)
Shotcrete (Wet Mix) icon

Shotcrete (Wet Mix)

Wet-mix shotcrete is pre-batched with water and pumped to the nozzle where compressed air propels it onto surfaces. This method delivers consistent mix quality, high production rates, and minimal dust—preferred for structural applications and high-volume projects.

Soil Nailing

Steel bars driven into soil to reinforce and stabilize loose ground or slope faces.

Structural Shotcrete

Structural Shotcrete

Structural shotcrete is high-strength, reinforced concrete applied pneumatically to create durable retaining walls, tunnel linings, and slope support systems. Engineered to carry significant loads, it provides monolithic construction that conforms to irregular surfaces.

Weep Drains

Weep Drains

Weep drains provide surface-level drainage relief by allowing water trapped behind shotcrete, retaining walls, or stabilized slopes to escape. These drains prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup, which can compromise structural stability.

Our Work in Action

Questions

Erosion Control FAQ

Hydroseeded slopes typically show germination within 7-14 days and establish ground cover within 60-90 days, depending on season and species. We use fast-germinating nurse crops for rapid erosion protection.
We specify native grass and shrub mixes suited to local climate and soil conditions. Deep-rooted species provide long-term stability, while fast-growing annuals provide immediate coverage.
Erosion control blankets protect soil from raindrop impact and sheet flow while vegetation establishes. Biodegradable blankets decompose over 1-3 years; permanent mats provide ongoing protection in high-flow areas.
Yes, we're experienced with NPDES, SWPPP, and state erosion control requirements. We can prepare erosion control plans and implement the BMPs required for permit compliance.
New installations need monitoring during establishment. Long-term maintenance includes sediment removal from catch basins, repair of concentrated flow damage, and vegetation management.

What Our Clients Say

We take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients through exceptional service and results.

"It amazes me how quick these guys adapt to challenging and seemingly overwhelming construction situations in the best, and most creative approach. Very smart, dedicated, hardworking group of brave workers in hazardous work sites. Not the type of work just anyone can do! Keep up the good work!"

"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."

Residential Slope Stabilization
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
