It is well-suited to erosion control in waterfront construction, beach renourshment, scour protection, ar- tifcial reef construction and many other applications that require exceptional strength, the flexibility to conform to uneven terrain, and long-term performance. NAUE Soft Rock RS offers an additonal attached coarser geotextile on the outside. The uniquely durable nonwoven geotextile provides elevated UV-resstance, higher protection against ‘vandalism and numerous environmental advantages. Advantage: Robustness Needlepunched NAUE Soft Rock nonwoven geotestile containers can withstand harsh instalation conditions, such as uneven terrain and tides, and challenging x construction loads, such as heavy riprap.

Also, additional erosion control {is promoted through vegetation establishment (Plant roots can hold to the fibres). Marine life can grow and flourish upon NAUE Soft Rock solutions without damag- ‘ng the containers The unigue interaction of robustness and flexibility provides high puncture resistance without sacrificing fictional or filtration properties ~an excellent choice for hydraulic and sustainable engineering appli- cations sect it ‘Advantage: Stronger Performance ac) Whether is 2 revetment structure, scour protection, beach repair or another ‘geotextile container aplica- tion, one must be concerned with both - the overall re- sistance to environmental threats such as wave energy and scour and the fiction with other comparable solutions themselves. As waves push and pull atthe NAUE Soft Rock structures, the in- dividual containers may rub against one another. The durable, flexible fibre matrix of Soft Rock nonwoven geo- textiles possesses elongation characteristics that are not only high but likely superior to woven geotextiles. Non- wovens are more flexible and possess a higher resistance to puncture. And puncture resistance may be a determin- {ng factor when using local materials rather than expen- sive, specially prepared fill materials. The strenath of [NAVE Soft Rock with its nonwoven geotextile greatly out- performs other solutions in regards to these vital design and performance concerns. Additionally, NAUE Soft Rock RS has a white bottom layer with a coulored layer for additional UV resistance, as anti-vandalism protection layer and for improved under water habitant growth. ‘Advantage: More Secure Installations Beyond the long-term durabiity benefits pro- vided by the robustness Of NAUE Soft Rock, in stallations are also more secure. Some installation conditions can damage many types of geosyn- thetics. NAVE geo- tertiles eliminate that risk. The combination of strength and flexibility allows for rough handling (such as drop: ping bags into place), covering with heavy riprap and placement over uneven ground. Also, the additional geo- tertile puncture resistance of NAUE Soft Rock RS better protects against vandalism, Safer, more intact installations lead to maximized performance and longer service life. ‘Advantage: Environmentally Smart NAUE Soft Rock possesses many environmental advan- tages. Soft Rock containers have a rough, durable outer surface to which plant life and other organisms can hold. This allows for underwater plant growth that provides additional erosion control and site protection while creating a habitat zone. For applications such as artificial reef construction, the characteristics of NAUE Soft Rock are essential to environmental success. For other installations, such as beachfront erosion control, the ability to use local material controls site costs, minimizes site disturbance, and reduces the carbon footprint of construction. Harvesting fil is both ex- pensive and environmentally harsh, as it requires stripping and ship- ping it from else- where, Each day we see more and more how greener practices are not just nice ideas but economi- cally smart es tee ‘uty aterAPPLICATION PUL US OL CSC LOR CLL D LEST ee ee ay road for fishermen was developed under the Department Cre ae as ‘Java, Indonesia.
