Landslides

We help protect communities

LANDSLIDES

Landslides are one of the most tragic consequence of erosion. They can be dangerous, risking the security of property and personnel.  With so much at stake in communities suffering from the effects of this form of dramatic erosion, we focus on the science of erosion control to deliver the most effective products and services. Our portfolio of products has been used to tackle the toughest projects around the world.

PROJECT PROFILE

In 2017, a devastating landslide cut off the town of Elk City, Idaho from the outside world. HMI’s NaturesOwn X9000 BFM/FRM was selected to tackle the  HMI partnered with Apex Erosion Control to reclaim a mountainside near Elk City, Idaho. The mountainside was facing a state road that connected a small town to the outside world. It was imperative that the solution used to control the erosion was efficacious, thorough and permanent. The natural bast fibers within X9000 BFM/FRM created a grass foundation in less than one year, stopping the dangerous erosion in its tracks.
