Bridge Scour Protection
The ability of the Armortec A-Jacks system to dissipate energy and resist the erosive forces of flowing water, allows this system to protect channel boundaries from scour and erosion. Extensive laboratory research was performed on both model and full scale units in order to evaluate the hydraulic properties of the A-Jacks units. Field tests confirmed that the A-Jacks system provides a flexible, nonerodible barrier between the channel subgrade and the potentially damaging flow of water.
