Elcorock sea wall revetment installation on Kingston Beach, SA

This project involved building a 2.5m high sea wall revetment with Elcorock geotextile sand container and Texcel R.

Elcorock is a shoreline protection system that consists of sand filled geotextile containers built to form a stabilising, defensive barrier against coastal erosion. It is highly resistant to abrasion, hydrocarbon, impact damage and UV degradation, which makes Elcorock ideal for constructing breakwaters, sea walls, revetments, groynes and artificial reef.

Texcel R non-woven staple fibre geotextile is made in Australia from polyester fibres with inbuilt flexibility, suitable for tough environmental conditions. Supported by 25 years of research, development and testing, it provides superior filtration for coastal applications and protection to rock revetment from constant water movement due to tidal, wave or other hydraulic forces.
