Our Solutions > Design

From concept to completion, our experience, design capability and installation teams deliver sustainable bioengineering techniques that address the challenges found in scour protection, soil erosion, habitat creation and mitigation projects.

We recognise that certain components of any project may require the use of concrete, steel or imported aggregates, however our designers always work to minimise the impact of these hard techniques, proving that a mix of hard and soft techniques can still be considered a bioengineered solution.

Our past projects have demonstrated that there are cost savings in using bioengineering solutions in place of hard revetments and that our environmentally sensitive revetments are often more durable.

Employing a solutions driven specialist such as Salix at concept stage can bring tangible benefits to your project. Salix can demonstrate solutions designed in accordance with the Water Framework Directive particularly in regards to ecological concerns in existing degraded bodies of water and the control of diffuse pollution such as sediment from soil erosion. Salix offer specialist advice at design stage to clients such as Contractors, Engineers, Landscape Architects and Ecologists.

We provide design calculations and sections, performance data, specification sheets and indicative costs, and can often give value engineered alternatives to main contractors on site.
