When rivers have high volumes of water and strong currents, river erosion begins.

This river erosion is caused by high flows and rapid currents putting many structures, houses, crops and lives at risk.

The erosion of the river affects bridges, land, structures, streets, isolating cities. A strong river flood causes undermining of structures such as bridges, leaving them with irreparable damage.

We can see this same effect of erosion and scour on the shores of beaches.

Coastal erosion and strong waves have been endless battles, where the easiest solutions have been to get as far away as possible from building near the coast.

Strong waves and coastal erosion have undermined and affected many waterfront structures, roads, breakwaters, and beach retaining walls. The solutions have always been to make retaining walls in front of the sea stronger and deeper, the downside of this is that they are increasingly expensive.

A very effective method to control erosion in rivers and coasts is by means of amorphous gabions or sack of stones.

The protection of rivers with amorphous gabions or sack of stones has managed to show the ease of installation when problems arise due to rapid river currents, protecting bridges, houses and roads.

The application of amorphous gabions by filling them with stones and immediately placing them in the area affected by the river has generated enormous popularity for the method.

In the same way with regard to coastal protection, the ease of installation and its rapidity of generating large and heavy elements to counteract scour and protect the coasts at a very economic cost.

This coastal protection using amorphous gabions or stone sacks creates fast, effective and long-lasting shoreline protection.
