Europe Erosion Control

F--Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity IDIQ Service contract for Erosion Control in support of Installation Management Command IMCOM Europe, US Army, and US Air Force for reducing/preventing erosion and controlling dust and soils management.

The GREENFIX name has a long history of quality and performance when answering erosion control problems. Since the 1970's, GREENFIX has been a leader in blanket manufacturing in the erosion control industry throughout Europe. As a pioneer of erosion control straw blankets, they have brought their experience to the United States.

This simply entails making sure that cropping techniques follow contour lines. Soil roughness (clods and small hollows) must be laid perpendicular to the slope, so that the eventual runoff sheet is slowed as much as possible. The method is effective only on gentle slopes: the P (or erosion control practices) factor will be 0.5 on slopes between 1 and 8%, 0.6 on 8 to 12% slopes, 0.8 on 17 to 20% slopes, and close to 1 on slopes steeper than 25% (Soil Loss Model 1978).
