Velocity and sediment control

Engineered check dams

Slow concentrated runoff, retain sediment and protect vulnerable gullies with a site-responsive cellular structure.

Hydraulic protection designed around every flow.

Park check-dam systems use confined stone or suitable local fill to form stable, permeable control structures across seasonal channels. Their modular construction is practical for difficult terrain, while the spillway, apron and anchorage are designed around the anticipated discharge and scour risk.

System value

Performance engineered into every layer.

01

Reduces runoff velocity

02

Supports sediment retention

03

Uses practical modular components

04

Tolerates minor settlement

Park water systems

From assessment to installation

A flow-led engineering approach.

01

Read the catchment

Peak flow, sediment load, channel profile and downstream sensitivity are reviewed first.

02

Engineer the control point

Crest level, spacing, spillway, apron and toe protection are developed for controlled discharge.

03

Build for continuity

Confinement units, infill and anchorage are placed to maintain a stable path through changing seasons.
