TRADITIONAL WINDROW &TRENCH-FILL REVETMENTS, & A NEW INVENTION,VEGETATED TRENCH-FILL REVETMENT{All 3 are classified as “Setback Revetments”}
THESE ARE ALL SELF-ADJUSTING, SELF-HEALING BANK STABILIZATION METHODS (NOT FOUNDATION DEPENDENT) THAT ARE USUALLY BUILT OUTSIDE THE ACTIVE STREAM CHANNEL
Typically easy to construct & inspect • Bank erosion must occur for the windrow or trenchfill stone to launch into the scoured area • In-stream construction is avoided • Self-adjusting, self-filtering stone is required • Maximum scour depth must be calculated to to determine volume of stone required. Rule of thumb is 1 ton of stone per foot will stabilize 3 ft of scour. • Works best in easily eroded, non-cohesive soils exhibiting a uniform erosion rate throughout the entire bend • Can be quickly & easily constructed, comparatively inexpensive, easy to inspect. Since all work is outside the channel & above OHW, some permits might not be required!
WINDROW REVETMENTSA continuous volume of stone placed on an engineered alignment landward of an actively eroding riverbank or streambank.
WINDROW REVETMENT, KANSAS RIVER, EUDORA BEND, KS. Approx. half of the stone has launched, remainder is still on top bank. Bank stable & vegged.
TRENCH-FILL REVETMENT Calculated volume of stone placed in a trench on an engineered alignment landward of an eroding bank. As erosion undermines the trench, stone is designed to self-adjust (launch) into the scoured area forming a stable, adjustable toe (or toe & mid-bank protection, depending on bank height & depth of trench). In some projects the upper bank is graded & either vegetated or riprapped.

TRENCHFILL REVETMENT-Stone is on the wrong side of the trench (away from river). When erosion undermines the trench as much stone as possible needs to be launched immediately, not a few stones at a time!
While 3 projects have been designed using this idea, only one has been built(recently).

CASE STUDY:& LAKE ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION EFFORTPROJECT CONSTRUCTED Oct ??, - Nov. ??, 2014
THE BACKSTORY • Since the pipeline protection project is totally off of the pipeline right-of-way, the use of several different shrub & tree bioengineering techniques can be used in conjunction with a continuous low-elevation stone toe protection & a set of redirective Bendway Weirs.
