Armorflex

The engineered solution for simple erosion protection

Armorflex erosion control system provides an alternative for a wide variety of erosion control and drainage projects. Armorflex system is flexible, conforming to ground contours, settling without cracking, and requires limited ground preparation. Armorflex is a flexible, interlocking matrix of machine-compressed, cellular concrete blocks of uniform size, shape, and weight. The matrix is connected by a series of cables which pass longitudinally through preformed ducts in each block, making them easy to install over site-specific filter fabric on a prepared surface. Armorflex revetment systems combine the favourable aspects of lightweight blankets and meshes such as porosity, flexibility, vegetation encouragement, and habitat enhancement with no erodible self-weight and the high tractive force resistance of a rigid lining. Armorflex has proven to be an aesthetic and functional alternative to dumped stone riprap, gabions, structural concrete, and other heavy-duty, durable erosion protection systems.
