HydroTurf is designed to permanently cover the protective soil so that water can’t penetrate and erode the subgrade which can damage the integrity of pipelines. Retrofitting or new construction is quick and easy, and installation requirements are minimally invasive to the surrounding area. Sites are safer because only small equipment is required and there is no need for heavy concrete mats or riprap to hang on or hit the pipeline or be swung overhead for placement. It can be driven on and used for low water crossings. It is ideal for sites that are difficult to access and minimal grading work or straightening is required due to the system being able to form to the natural stream curves. There is minimal maintenance required because the system prevents vegetation growth.
