This Haynesville dam underwent significant changes over a short period. In 2019, it was repaired with a riprap-lined channel to stabilize the structure. However, in 2020, the newly repaired spillway suffered complete devastation, as seen in the before photo. To address this failure and ensure long-term durability, the spillway was replaced in 2021 with Hydroturf®, providing a more resilient and sustainable solution. Watershed Geo’s Hydroturf technology is an engineered revetment system that combines the look of natural grass with hard armor revetment strength, offering superior erosion control and low maintenance. Designed to withstand extreme hydraulic conditions, it provides a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hard armor systems.

HydroTurf® is an engineered revetment solution designed to provide armoring of hydraulic structures against high velocity and shear stress. It offers the aesthetics of vegetation combined with better performance than traditional hard armor.
