New England Environmental, Inc.(NEE)
has emerged as experts in the field of soft engineering using traditional
and non-traditional soil bioengineering techniques.
Bioengineering, also known as “soft engineering” is a technique which
uses native plant materials and erosion control products to stabilize eroding
slopes, waterways, and banks. These techniques are used as an alternative
to stone rip-rap, stone gabion baskets, concrete, or other “hard” engineering
techniques.
In many cases bioengineering can be used as a more natural and less invasive
method for soil stabilization. We have successfully used bioengineering techniques
to stabilize steep upland slopes; riverbanks on both large and small rivers;
drainage channels; lake and pond shores; irrigation ponds and coastal banks.
NEE uses an understanding of:
- Soil Science,
- Fluvial Geomorphology,
- Soil Engineering, and
- Botany
to develop appropriate bioengineering designs for a given site. Our work has
received several awards and national recognition for
innovative design using bioengineering techniques.
