 Erosion  Control and Geotextiles
Solutions for Shoreline Erosion are as Permanent as the Water Level!!


Consider a Less Expen$ive Process!



Installation and custom fabrication of 77,000 lb. Sandbags for prevention of
shoreline erosion and high water level damage.

"We will be part of your team to fabricate custom solutions for site specific
problems."
Facilitating the process from manufacturing to the job site!

HANDLING

INNOVATION


Pumps on a 2-way cart and a custom pontoon on bugee wheels ready to access
any beachfront!
Using industrial sewing for manageable components saves on material and labor.
Engineered machinery specifically for this purpose and options on approach.  
BAGS BEING FILLED ON SITE AND CAN BE ADDED, STACKED, OR SUBTRACTED AS THE JOB
AND NATURE'S CONDITIONS CHANGE.





WE HAVE MADE THIS AN AFFORDABLE, ONGOING PROCESS THAT ADAPTS WITH THE NEEDS OF
THE ENVIRONMENT!



We install (and Manufacture!) custom saqndbags to prevent damage from shoreline
erosion and high water levels. Each 25ft long by 12ft circumference 'Geo Bag'
can have up to 77,000 lbs of sand in it to withstand waves. Yes, even those of
Lake Michigan!  








 GROINS PLACED PERPENDICULAR TO THE SHORELINE LITERALLY TRAPS LONGSHORE SAND!!


 They protected the embankment on both shores.



The beach in the foreground utilized groins placed perpendicular to the
revetment bags to stabilise the installed system and trap longshore sand.


We install (and Manufacture!) custom sandbags to prevent damage from shoreline
erosion and high water levels. Geotextile Bags are basically giant sand bags.
25ft Long by 12ft circ,  77,000lb Giant! to be exact. These bags are Not going
to move and cover more surface area providing more stabilization than rock.  
WE WANT TO HELP PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY!


These bags are filled on site and can be added, stacked, or subracted as the job
and nature's conditions change. We have made this an affordable, ongoing process
that adapts with the needs of the environment. Home owners will spend Big Money
in a one time shot to attempt to save their property from damage. There is no
Guarantee that any Marine Contractor is going to give you that  it will work and
last. Nature changes, and we have developed these processes to evolve with the
need. 
SAVE YOUR PROPERTY!!


WE CAN PREVENT DAMAGE FROM HIGH WATER LEVELS, REBUILD BEACHES, PREVENT EROSION
ON DUNES, TOE IN A REVETMENT, LAY A GRID TO TRAP SAND, AND MUCH MORE!!! 


EMAIL US: VERTICALECOGARDEN@GMAIL.COM AND BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR SITUATION, WE
WOULD LOVE TO SOLVE YOUR SHORELINE EROSION PROBLEMS TODAY!



Often a flatter, less filled geobag covers more beach and is intentional in some
applications.



By using a dredge pump for sand these huge sand bags can be filled efficiently
and to the full bladder shape. A trash pump can be used, but being designed
primarily to move water and not sand the trash pump is much less effective.

Or let us CRANK It UP! and fill em high!! Then drive heavy machinery over them.


1 BY LAND, 2 BY SEA... EITHER WAY!!!

Accessibility is no problem! With a specialized pontoon on sand wheels that can
roll up onto the beach, or down the side of a sand dune, we can reach any
worksite!




GIVE HOMEOWNERS WITH EROSION PROBLEMS AN AFFORDABLE AND ONGOING OPTION TO
PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY.


THE MISSION



Joe VanLente is the founder of G.E.C. and has over 45 years of experience in
industrial manufacturing and engineering. An expert on shoreline erosion and
Limnology he is leading the way in development.

MEET THE TEAM!


The absorbent cost of rock revetments does not significally reduce exposure!
With the astronomical price tag  one may think that because its expensive it's
superior... Not always the case! The science and numbers are there. Geotubes are
cost effective and affordable, not to mention being easily added to Mother
Nature's changing conditions. 

The Vulnerability of Rock Revetments

COST VS VULNERABILITY:


Scouring infront of rock walls, and eventually behind them is a  real
possibility.
Scouring and erosion behind counter measures.
   Old pilings trap sand. We know this works, you simply can't get a permit to
place permanent structures in the shoreline anymore. Now that government
agencies have officially recognized the serious problem in Muskegon and the
surrounding areas the permit process for our Geotextile Jetties is easily
accessible!



  
WZZM reported that the DEQ is giving permits in 3 days for $100. Our
GeoJetties are removable and thus permits should be easy to get. 

   

Sand Conspiracy:


Resorts in Florida have been given permission for years to build thier beaches.
The ARMY Corps is used for this. Basically they build beaches to prepare for
Spring Breakers to come and party on. If they can get permits for that, poperty
owners and tax paying Americans who want to protect their waterfront should be
easy!



Borrow permits allow reconstrustion of beaches and prevent shoreline erosion.
There are plenty of articles about return on investment ROI for dredging sand
onto a beach. Also, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a home
that has no beach and looks like it may eventually slide into the lake probably
won't sell for much.



LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE EROSION HISTORIC SOLUTION


GO TO OUR ABOUT PAGE OR SERVICES PAGE TO LEARN MORE!





Hardening a beach off with boulders is about $2,500 per Linear foot. 100ft of
beachfront will cost around $250,000 and comes with No gaurantee. Waves
breaching this system will erode behind it. Mother Nature is too
unpredictable to give any such promise that this permanent(expensive!)
installation will be a permenant solution. 





Our process could be around 20% of that total cost. We also give no gaurantee,
but our GeoJetties and Bag concept is an affordable and ongoing process that
responds to the increased water level by adding bags.






JETTIES WORK!! THAT IS WHY THEY ARE PRESERVED!

We know jetties prevent longshore current. The one pictured here (left) is:
trapping sand for a municipal beach, protecting Beach St., and protects the
Muskegon water plant. If it did not work, it would not be there!


WE CAN BUILD YOU A GEO JETTY GRID TO PROTECT YOUR BEACH!

    The jetties here have preserved this stretch of beach. A non-removable jetty
is no longer a possibility to build. Our removable Geo Grid, installed with the
same intent as a jetty system, preserves shoreline and damage from erosion.

      

 By protecting the direct shoreline with our sand bags, AND installing a Geo
Grid composed of similar bags, the wave energy and potential for damage during a
storm is greatly reduced!

There are hundreds of these sites along the lakeshore! EAGLE has a requirement
to remove sandbags in two years. How could they ask you to remove sandbags when
they have miles of cement and debris.
