The challenge
A South African golf estate experienced ongoing erosion along exposed embankments, threatening fairway edges and cart paths. Conventional retaining structures were considered too costly and visually intrusive for the course environment.
What we supplied
We supplied over 1,200 UV-stabilised geotextile sandbags which were stacked along the affected slopes. Under their own weight, the bags interlock to form a permeable and flexible structure that stabilises the slope while allowing water to drain through.
The result
More than three years after installation, the sandbags remain intact with indigenous vegetation now established through and around the structure. The result is a stable embankment that appears natural while maintaining structural reinforcement beneath the surface.
