Professional & Economical Pipeline Erosion Control in Missouri – CSU Gulf Coast

Erosion is mainly caused by the activities of water, wind and ice. This is a kind of natural process, which loosens and transports the soil and rock material. Natural erosion generally takes place on a geological timescale, but when human activities change the landscape, the process of erosion accelerates to a great extent. Construction site erosion gives rise to expensive and serious problems, both on-site and off-site. Since ground cover on an undistributed site safeguards the surface, elimination of that cover makes the site more susceptible to erosion. Disturbed land could have up to 1,000 times erosion rate, which is higher than the pre-construction rate. Though the needs of the construction is that land should be disturbed and left uncovered for some time so that proper planning and prevention measures could be taken to bring down the impact of human-created, accelerated erosion. However, when it comes to availing of the services of pipeline erosion control in Missouri, just a few companies can be trusted. CSU offering professional & economical services for pipeline erosion control CSU Gulf Coast is one of the leading pipeline repair and maintenance company in the United States of America offering their engineered erosion and sediment control products.


Leveraging the potential and capability of these technologically advanced products, the company claims to reduce the damaging effects of rainfall, storm water runoff, wind and wave activity on soil structures by safeguarding the soil and redirecting, or working as a barrier to erosive elements. Their extensive variety of products caters to the precise erosion control and/or vegetation establishment as well as reinforcement requirements (temporary or permanent) for almost any application. Key strategies CSU Gulf Coast uses for pipeline erosion control Temporary measures As and when there is a pipeline construction, the company leverages temporary preventive measures to reduce soil erosion and sedimentation of adjoining waterways. When the watercourse has abundant flow preventing the use of silt fence across the entire width of the waterway, a custom turbidity (silt) curtain could be utilized for sediment control. The turbidity curtain enables sediment to settle to the streambed from the bank that abets in reducing the impact of equipment in the stream. Permanent measures When there is the operational phase of a pipeline, CSU takes advantages of the permanent measures for erosion control in order to improve bank stability and encourage revegetation to help safeguard the environment. After construction, there must be the reclaiming and maintenance of bank stability on either side of a watercourse. The company uses a permanent, engineered concrete block erosion protection system that comes blended with the flexibility of lightweight blankets with the high shear resistance of a rigid lining. They use systems that enable XYZ to detect on the bottom of the waterway, and help deal with government dredging operations and exposed pipelines. They have got the RTK systems that come blended with static data to provide precise location and elevation to the earth’s surface. The RTK system in addition to side-scan sonar and their drafting department guarantees you get the best report in a timely manner (same day in some cases!). CSU’s Multibeam System contributes to the navigable waterway surveying, thus providing the operator with a more detailed and thorough look at the bottom of the waterway. Thus, the pipeline erosion control practices that CSU uses help in protecting the soil surface against erosion mechanisms such as water and wind leveraging soil Pipeline Bank Stabilization. This practice makes use of historical data charts and flow readings to detect and map the waterway over time. Exploiting this data and their knowledgeable staff and advanced technology, the company claims to stop erosion and even move the waterway back to its original course. They have more than 35 years of experience all through the


United States and have successfully completed bank stabilizations starting in size from small creeks to the Mississippi river. Conclusion Thus, primary mission of CSU is to provide safe, professional and economical pipeline erosion control in Missouri and other parts of the United States, and cater to their customer requirements to the fullest and to carry out their business in the most ethical manner. They leverage the advanced and avant-garde technology, equipment and techniques in addition to their skilled, knowledgeable and safety compliant employees.
