Partnering geosynthetics & vegetation for erosion control
Soil bioengineering for a steep biotechnically stabilized earthen buttress slope construction is initiated with sound engineering practices, which are then integrated with ecological principles. Soil bioengineering solutions which are designed to protect and restore functionality to systems. This was employed on the Massachusetts Turnpike at Mile 79.3 E.B. A polymeric geogrid was coupled with backfill and vegetation in a method known as vegetated geogrid. The use of tensile inclusions made it possible to construct this highly steepened vegetated earthen buttress to reconstruct and stabilize this section of slope along the highway. The fill area above the face was stabilized using a shallow soil bioengineering method known as live fascine, which offered immediate surface erosion control. This soil bioengineering installations have restored function to this slope system and should continue to root and grow, thus providing for increased surface erosion control protection, soil reinforcement, and an aesthetically pleasing revegetated slope. Over time, natural invasion from the surrounding plant community is expected to occur, helping the system to further blend into the naturally wooded scenic setting of the area, satisfying the long-term mechanical and ecological goals of the project.
