Evergreen Landcare, in conjunction with partners built this Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) retaining wall near Tairua using Erosion Control Siltstop Tubes.
The use of MSE or compacted earth retaining walls has been used successfully throughout New Zealand in the past.
Traditionally hessian sacks filled with soil have been used to create a green, growing face.
The use of Siltstop erosion control tubes significantly speeds up this part of the process, reducing machine down time and lowering overall costs.
