EcoMac Design is an advanced suite of specialised tools created to empower engineers and professionals in developing state-of-the-art erosion control solutions. Whether you are managing slopes, channel banks, or other critical areas prone to soil erosion, EcoMac provides the tools needed to design effective, sustainable, and environmentally compliant systems.
Precision and Efficiency in Erosion Control
Selecting an appropriate and efficient erosion control solution that prevents soil loss from slopes, has long been a challenge for engineers and stakeholders given the complexity of input parameters and design methods. The EcoMac design suite dramatically simplifies this process.
The EcoMac Suite: Three Powerful Tools
EcoMac is comprised of three core tools, each tailored to tackle specific erosion control challenges:
- EcoMac R: Utilising the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (R.U.S.L.E), this tool accurately estimates soil loss and evaluates erosion risks on unprotected slopes. It offers recommendations for optimal solutions, including the use of reinforced geomats. EcoMac R enables you to assess risks and design solutions that mitigate soil erosion effectively.
- EcoMac S: Focused on stabilising soils on slopes, this tool calculates the required tensile strength of geomats and determines appropriate anchorage spacing. By simplifying complex calculations, EcoMac S ensures your designs optimise stability and reliability.
- EcoMac B: Specially developed for channel bank protection, this tool provides customised anchorage solutions to prevent soil erosion along waterways. EcoMac B enhances the durability and longevity of your designs in dynamic hydraulic environments.
