Welcome to Salix! Bioengineering – the use of vegetation and natural/man made materials in Civil Engineering construction for surface soil protection, slope stabilisation, watercourse and shoreline protection Richard Edwards

Typical Issues and Problems Incorrect choice of product/solution (Willow spiling/soil filled geotextiles) Concept that bioengineering is always a soft solution (Hard/soft combine) Bioengineering can only be used in low energy rivers (Not true) No performance data with bioengineering materials (There is!) Long term performance Maintenance issues (standard get out clause even within the EA) Not involved till its too late (ECI vital) General civil contractors used on frameworks rather than specialists

Bioengineering correct choice Soil erosion control and habitat creation Challenge soft and hard engineering Study failures. Why? Right technique for problem Undermines confidence Once bitten twice shy....

Replacing four tiers of blockstone Bioengineering can be a combination of hard and soft.
