|---|---|
| Soil bioengineering is a discipline that combines technology biology, and sociology making use of plants and plant communities to help protect and develop land uses and infrastructures, and contribute to landscape development, particular in the domain of slope stability and erosion control. These techniques rely on biological knowledge to build geotechnical and hydraulic structures and to secure unstable slopes and banks. Whole plants or their parts are used as construction materials to secure unstable sites, in combination with other (dead) construction material. Thus, soil bioengineering does not replace traditional hydraulic or geotechnical engineering (e.g. geotextiles, or concrete blocks), but complements and improves other technical engineering methods. Unlike traditional engineering methods and approaches, soil and water bioengineering make allowance for the environmental and ecological approach at the design and construction stages. | |
