Platipus anchoring systems were used with a geosynthetic permanent erosion control matting and were chosen as a ‘combination solution’ to provide slope stability measures to an existing embankment slope located in Buderim in South East Queensland. The system was also designed and detailed to facilitate and encourage vegetation growth and establishment.
A permanent geosynthetic matting providing both slope surface tension and erosion protection, was secured to the steep embankment face by installing 350no. Platipus S4ARGS anchoring systems. The proprietary anchoring systems were driven, tensioned and load locked to a depth of 1.5m into the slope with the total works being completed over a period of just 5 working days.
The Platipus anchoring systems were chosen and deployed for the following main features & benefits:
Stabilizing slopes offer significant challenges. Many times the lack of deep rooted vegetation, excess water, poor drainage, and over steepening makes them susceptible to erosion or instability.
