HOW IT WORKS
The high tensile and shear strength of the Ecobale matrix allows for use as a breakwater structure that dissipates wave energy along high energy corridors of shoreline. In addition, the open structure of the matrix allows for the collection and retention of sediments.
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN-LESS COSTLY DEPLOYMENT
EcoBale comes in 2 sizes. 5'H x 4.5'D and 7.5'H x 4.5'D. The 5' EcoBale weighs 265# and the 7.5' weighs 400#.
The lightweight design enables maximum unit deployment during transport and minimal effect on barge draft. This eliminates the need for dredging shallow areas for access. The lightweight design not only reduces the number of material transport trips, but also lessens logistical delays.
LIGHTWEIGHT
The lightweight design of the EcoBale allows deployment as a vertical cylinder or bale to meet design depth with minimal loading of the sub grade. This mitigates the potential for sub grade improvements, such as geotextiles frequently required to support heavier structures.
OPEN STRUCTURE
With 96% void space, the open cell design of the EcoBale provides wave dissipation and collection of entrained sediments.
POLYUREA
The polyurea coating produces an extremely tough film and is specifically designed for industrial applications receiving constant attack from abrasive action. It is inert and will not hydrolyze, leach, or contaminate other materials, making it safe for the environment.
