CPD Presentation Title: Bioengineering Solutions for Soil Erosion Control and Habitat Creation Company Overview: Salix are industry leaders in bioengineering solutions. We provide sustainable, ecologically sound answers to the challenges found in soil and riverbank erosion, inland dredging, water based civil engineering, wetlands and habitat creation projects across the UK. Our expertise has involved us in landmark projects such as the 2012 Olympic Park wetlands; replacing or reducing hard engineering within the Environment, Rail, Civil & Utilities sectors plus habitat mitigation for protected species. Our sensitive approach to all our work takes into consideration the Water Framework Directive that calls for improved biodiversity within UK watercourses. Key Learnings: 1) Improve knowledge of bioengineering products in order to provide correct specifications and correct choice of solutions. 2) Improve understanding of how bioengineering solutions are used to create habitat, prevent scour and soil erosion on slopes, spillways, riverbanks, lakes and drainage channels. 3) Improve understanding of how bioengineering solutions perform in comparison to hard revetment.
