Wire-Tied Riprap Apron is a robust erosion control wire mesh mattress solution designed for soil stabilization and erosion control. Featuring riprap secured with durable triple twist hexagonal wire mesh, the apron offers exceptional stability and long term use in hydraulic engineering, coastal protection, and stream bank stabilization.
Advantages of a wire-tied riprap apron:
High resistance to shifting;
Easy installation;
Adaptable to different terrains;
Minimal maintenance;
Sustainable erosion control.
