Streambank erosion presents ongoing challenges for restoration projects, particularly in dynamic systems where traditional hard armoring can disrupt natural stream function and habitat. This presentation will share case where bioengineered stabilization methods have been successfully implemented to address severe erosion while supporting ecological recovery.

The session will highlight case studies where high-energy streambanks were stabilized using SOX Erosion Solutions’ bioengineering system, which combines structural containment with vegetative practices. The presentation will focus on design considerations, site-specific challenges, installation methods, and long-term performance outcomes. Attendees will gain practical insights into project planning, overcoming field challenges, and lessons learned from applying bioengineered stabilization techniques in both urban and rural settings.

By examining real-world applications, this presentation aims to contribute to the broader conversation on sustainable and resilient approaches to stream restoration
