Erosion Fencing Peoria, IL

Before installing any erosion barrier, our team performs a thorough site evaluation assessing ground terrain, grade changes, soil conditions, water drainage issues and other factors on your property that contribute to erosion.

We identify areas most prone to erosion like drainage ditches, ponds, creeks, shorelines, steep embankments and hills. We also evaluate flood zones, surface runoff patterns, existing retaining walls, sidewalks and concrete pads.

Evaluating sun exposure, wind patterns, vegetation coverage and identifying natural resource areas provides further insight. testing and soil sampling is performed if contaminated sites are suspected.

Notes and measurements are taken plotting scope of work required to build an effective erosion control fencing system for that site. Photos and video recordings gathered document site conditions for planning and permit submittals.

Custom Barrier Design

Every erosion control project we install completely customized to match site characteristics and meet environmental compliance codes for that property.

There is no one size fits all solution. We combine various materials, anchoring mechanisms, grades of metal and mesh density designed specifically to handle expected velocity and volume of runoff based on site evaluation.

Barriers are strategically positioned to avoid natural resources and maximize performance. We determine if permanent or temporary fencing solutions should be built depending on client needs. CAD drawings and 3D models are created outlining the erosion barrier design before installation begins.

Submittals are made to local building departments providing project details to ensure permit approvals and code compliance for safety. Changes are made if required prior to starting construction.

Fence Installation Process

Once permits are secured, our erosion control fence construction team mobilizes to the site fully equipped with all necessary materials, equipment and safety gear need for the project. Below is a basic overview of the erosion barrier building process:

Step 1: Crews layout fence boundary lines staking positions thoroughly around areas to be protected.

Step 2: Post holes are dug based on barrier dimensions and terminal posts that anchor the entire system are installed first.

Step 3: Fence stretching proceeds down the line with posts strategically placed according to site topo and barrier design needs creeping downhill.

Step 4: Fence fabric and mesh materials are unrolled and tensioned between fence posts standing approximately 3-4 feet height above ground.

Step 5: Post depth and spacing maintains structure integrity to withstand max flood loads without failing. Stakes, crosses and cable ties provide additional stability when needed.

Step 6: Anchor trenching digs 6-12 in underneath fabric along entire perimeter length to prevent undermining below fence.

Step 7: Terminal ends wrap around containments with extra anchoring mechanisms to withstand overflows adding durable flood protection.

Step 8: Backfilling and compacting reinforces posts. Fabric fasteners, edge protectors and post caps secure to prevent unraveling and punctures.

Step 9: Final pass performed ensuring proper grade, alignments, fabric clearance and functional longevity is achieved.

Our erosion control fencing construction team takes great pride building secure barriers designed to withstand whatever mother nature delivers now and well into the future. We use the most rugged, heavy duty geo-textiles and metals available on the market today engineered specifically for erosion and flood control applications here in the Midwest.
