Abstract:
Improved erosion control systems are provided which, in some embodiments, may comprise large, porous aggregate stabilized with a continuous mesh and a polymeric binding agent. In some embodiments, an erosion control system may include an aggregate layer comprising porous aggregate having a particle size of at least 7.5 mm and containing no more than 5% by weight of smaller particles; a continuous mesh disposed at an upper surface of the aggregate layer; and a polymer adhesive affixing at least some aggregate particles to each other and affixing the mesh to some of the aggregate particles, wherein the polymer adhesive permanently binds the aggregate and mesh such that the system remains porous. The polymer may be applied in-situ after the mesh has been placed on the aggregate.
