ShoreSOX® - An Ideal Solution for Soil Erosion

Soil erosion might sound like a small problem, but on commercial properties, it can quickly turn into a big and expensive issue. Whether it’s a business office, industrial facility, or public infrastructure project, erosion can threaten structural stability, damage landscaping, clog drainage systems, and increase liability risks.

Fortunately, there’s a smart and sustainable solution for soil erosion: ShoreSOX®. Foremost Foundations and Construction is proud to offer this innovative erosion control system to protect commercial properties from the ground up. Let’s learn more about the dangers of soil erosion for commercial sites and how to manage this issue using knitted polyethylene mesh.

Why Soil Erosion Is a Serious Problem for Commercial Sites

On large properties, water runoff, slope failure, or poor drainage can lead to fast-moving erosion. Without proper control, this can cause several problems, such as foundation and pavement damage, sediment buildup in stormwater systems, and landscape degradation. Not only can this affect the aesthetic of the property, but also it can create safety hazards around walkways or retaining walls and increase maintenance costs.

Traditional erosion control methods often require significant installation time, equipment, and ongoing upkeep. Riprap, for instance, involves placing large rocks or stones along a shoreline or slope to absorb water flow and prevent soil loss. It’s also expensive to install and transport. Silt wraps, on the other hand, are easier to install, but they’re not a long-term solution and they only control sediment, not erosion. That’s why ShoreSOX® is a better alternative.

What Is ShoreSOX^®?

ShoreSOX^® is an environmentally friendly, high-strength containment system designed to stabilize slopes, shorelines, and erosion-prone areas. It uses a patented mesh sleeve that’s filled with organic material like blow-in mulch to create a natural barrier that reinforces the landscape and promotes vegetation growth.

ShoreSOX® works with the land instead of against it, delivering long-term erosion protection without disrupting the surrounding area. Each new system comes with a 5-year product warranty and is expected to last several decades.

Key Benefits of Using ShoreSOX^® on Commercial Properties

There are many benefits to using ShoreSOX® for your commercial property, especially when you compare it against other solutions like silt fences. ShoreSOX® can be installed with minimal disruption to your site. This is especially valuable for commercial settings where time is money and aesthetics matter. It can also be customized to the site condition. Whether you’re working with steep slopes, water-adjacent areas, or large surface runoff zones, ShoreSOX® can be adapted to fit the unique needs of your property.

Another benefit is that this system uses biodegradable, organic materials that support vegetation, helping you meet environmental goals and reduce stormwater runoff naturally. Over time, ShoreSOX® creates a green, living barrier that blends in with the landscaping. Once vegetation takes root, the system reinforces itself and becomes even more stable. Finally, ShoreSOX® is low maintenance since it won’t break down or wash away like other temporary solutions.

Ideal Applications for ShoreSOX^®

So where can you use ShoreSOX®? This erosion control system is ideal for:

• Business parks and campuses

• Municipal and public works projects

• Industrial yards and equipment areas

• Shoreline protection near retention ponds or creeks

• Drainage easements and slope stabilization zones
