PHOTO OF THE DAY: Stabilizing riverbank along the Scheldt River

HERBOSCH-KIERE said that the preparatory works for the stabilization of the riverbank along the Scheldt River is underway, using soil mixing walls.

Stabilizing the riverbank along the Scheldt River involves a transition toward nature-based bioengineering.

By moving away from purely hardened concrete and riprap, these examples of nature-based riverbank slope stabilization techniques work with tidal dynamics rather than against them, effectively reducing erosion while boosting local biodiversity.
