InstaTurf Case Studies

A new 81-acre Amazon distribution center in Greenwood, IN, just south of Indianapolis, was constructed in 2019. Site work included four retention ponds ranging from 1 to 6 acres in size to retain stormwater, sediment, and other pollutants on-site. After five years of exposure to heavy rainfall and highly variable water levels, the 3:1 sloped pond banks were severely eroded, causing excess sediment discharge into the basins. This sediment loading also threatened the quality of water discharged from the ponds at peak levels.

Discover how the Chesterfield Residential Pondbank Stabilization project transformed a struggling dam into a resilient, eco-friendly solution. Faced with the challenge of transporting heavy rock riprap, DJM Ecological proposed the innovative InstaTurf® ShearForce™10 hybrid turf instant armor mat. This alternative not only saved costs by 50% but also ensured quick installation with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. With native vegetation thriving and long-term erosion resistance achieved, this project exemplifies sustainable landscaping.

Addison Farms chose InstaTurf ShearForce over tied concrete block and saved significantly.

A power substation in Eastern Virginia was experiencing a recurring erosion problem after precipitation. The problem was proving costly and apparently insurmountable…

We installed the InstaTurf ShearForce™ 10 at a coal mine in Indiana in September 2019 to demonstrate the erosion armoring capabilities of the product compared to rock riprap.

This solar farm in North Roanoke, NC needed an erosion control product that was tough, but didn’t risk damaging the solar panels with heavy machinery during installation.
