Erosion Control & Management

Erosion is a natural process that moves material from one area to another. But certain activities such as utility work or land development require the use of specialized equipment to control the movement of this material as the land is graded and excavated to establish a permanent runoff solution and soil stabilization.
Commercial properties usually have erosion issues when there are creeks or nearby rivers, retention ponds, storm pipe outlets, differences in elevation, and lack of vegetation. Construction sites have altered the landscape which means measures must be taken by general contractors to maintain the topsoil and prevent contaminants from entering the local water supply.

Dragon Excavation uses Best Management Practices to stabilize the soil and environment. Some types of erosion control products include - silt fences, dry mulches, sediment logs, erosion control blankets, rip rap, and specialty products.

“The loss of topsoil, either by actual removal with heavy equipment or erosion by wind and water, is the worst on-site damage in urban areas. This layer of soil has the highest biological activity, organic matter, and plant nutrients—all key components of healthy soil. The on-site loss of this upper layer of soil nearly eliminates the soil’s natural ability to provide nutrients, regulate water flow, and combat pests and disease.” — USDA.gov
