ENVIROFLEX®

Product catalog summary

Introduction
ENVIROFLEX® is an interlocking articulating concrete block (ACB) revetment system designed for erosion control in high-velocity flow environments such as rivers and channels. It is made from fiber-reinforced concrete and features interlocking blocks that prevent overturning, eliminating the need for additional connection devices. The system allows for vegetation growth, promoting a natural appearance and environmental benefits.

Cost-Effectiveness and Environmental Benefits
The ENVIROFLEX® system is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional erosion control methods like rip-rap and concrete linings. It requires less material, reducing transportation and maintenance costs, and supports sediment infill and riparian plant growth, enhancing natural habitats.

Applications
ENVIROFLEX® is suitable for various applications, including channel lining, dam overflow protection, culvert outlets, detention basins, embankments, wetland crossings, boat ramps, pipeline protection, access roads, bridge protection, and drainage swales.

Specifications
The system is available in two sizes: 4-inch and 6-inch blocks. Both sizes have a specific weight of 130-150 lbs./cu. ft., compressive strength of 4000 psi, and maximum absorption of 10 lbs./cu. ft. The nominal dimensions are 21.5 x 21.5 inches, with net coverage of 3.21 sq. ft. per block. The 4-inch block weighs 111 lbs., while the 6-inch block weighs 164 lbs. Both have an open area of 21.5% and a velocity limit of 23.3 ft/sec.

Installation
ENVIROFLEX® is easy to install using small track equipment and a specialized grappling tool, allowing for rapid placement of multiple blocks at once. It does not require cables or cranes, making it suitable for difficult-to-reach locations.

Conclusion
Protected by US and international patents and trademarks, ENVIROFLEX® offers a durable, economical, and environmentally sound solution for soil stabilization and erosion control.

ENVIROFLEX® is an interlocking articulating concrete block (ACB) revetment system designed for erosion control use in riverine and channel environments or other areas with high velocity fl ows subject to scour. Manufactured from fi ber reinforced concrete, each block interlocks with overlapped edges, eliminating the block’s ability to overturn under fl ow conditions. ENVIROFLEX® is free from protruding edges so cabling or other connection devices are not required for hydraulic stability. Openings in the block units enable vegetation to establish, providing a green, natural, and environmentally...

Cost effective and environmentally friendly. The ENVIROFLEX® interlocking ACB system offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to rip-rap, gabion mattresses, concrete or asphalt linings and other hard armor systems. By requiring a thinner section, less trucking and lower maintenance costs, this unique system provides ample opportunity for signifi cant savings over standard project costs. The products ability to accept sediment infi ll from storm events allows the establishment of riparian plants and enables cyclical natural habitat while providing a stable and scour proof...
