|  Dycel
is a fully interlocking precast concrete revetment system
designed to provide exceptional protection against embankment
erosion above and below water level whilst ensuring the flexibility
essential to cope with variations in embankment profile.
Dycel’s full depth cellular structure
enables the system’s stability to be enhanced by filling
and seeding voids in situations above water level of by filling
the voids with graded aggregate where the product is used
below water level. Seeding with prevailing natural vegetation
also enables structures to harmonise perfectly with the local
environment. A solid system is available for use in particularly
abrasive environments or to provide additional toe weight.
 When
tested as part of the CIRIA field trials in connection with
The Design of Reinforced Grass Waterways (Ref. CIRIA Report
116), the Dycel 100 system withstood flow
velocities in excess of 8m/sec when laid in a steep trapezoidal
channel with geotextile underlayer.
The Dycel system can be laid quickly and
easily without the need for skilled labour.
