Contaminated sediments in waterways, harbors, and industrial sites require capping and filtration systems that prevent the release of harmful particles into the water column and surrounding environment. BaseLok™ marine mattress and filtration systems provide effective in-situ capping solutions that isolate contaminants, permit natural sediment consolidation, and provide a stable, biologically-friendly surface for aquatic recolonization — all without the need for costly dredging operations.

Waterway erosion caused by flooding, storm events, and human activities poses serious risks to infrastructure, property, and aquatic ecosystems. BaseLok™ GeoCell and riprap-alternative products protect streambanks, channel linings, and floodplain areas from scour and erosion. Their flexible, permeable structure allows for natural drainage, supports vegetative establishment, and provides superior long-term performance compared to traditional rock or concrete lining in most erosion control scenarios.

Slopes and embankments adjacent to wetlands, streams, and ecologically sensitive areas require stabilization solutions that protect both the structure and its surroundings. BaseLok™ GeoCell systems create a three-dimensional confinement matrix that stabilizes the soil, supports native vegetation, and prevents erosion without the use of hard-armor materials that can disrupt natural hydrology and wildlife habitat. These systems are ideal for green infrastructure projects that must meet both engineering and environmental performance standards.

As site availability for landfills decreases and compliance requirements increase, maximizing the capacity and safety of existing containment structures becomes critical. BaseLok™ GeoGrid systems can be used to construct steep-walled containment structures that increase fill capacity per acre, reduce land consumption, and maintain long-term structural stability. These systems also support the construction of landfill closure slopes, leachate collection berms, and other critical environmental containment infrastructure.
