ArmorFlex revetment systems combine the favorable aspects of lightweight blankets and meshes such as porosity, flexibility, vegetation encouragement and habitat enhancement with non-erodible self-weight and the high tractive force resistance of a rigid lining.
For more design information, please download the NCMA Design Manual for Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) Revetment Systems, 3rd Edition.
Technical information for this product is located in the technical guide’s section.
ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc provide a speedy and more flexible alternative to a traditional concrete pad and can be used for tank / heavy equipment turning pad.
Armorflex Tapered Block Series is capable of providing erosion protection in high velocity applications, such as spillways, overtopping and diversion channels. As a cost effective alternative to reinforced concrete lining or grouted rip rap, the Armorflex Tapered Series provides needed protection while fulfilling environmental quality requirements including vegetation promotion, habitat enhancement and associated water quality benefits.
ArmorFlex articulating concrete block systems and A-Jacks armor units are used to construct highly stable channel drop structures in steep bed grade applications. An efficient and interlocking design, which uses less material compared to conventional techniques such as rip rap, provides maximum energy dissipation. Installation time is also dramatically reduced because of their unique cabled design.
The unique shape and interlocking design of ArmorFlex cabled systems and ArmorLoc hand placed systems provide permanent erosion protection at culvert outfall locations. Unlike dumped stone, which typically requires maintenance and replenishment after periodic events, ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc systems are permanent solutions that dramatically reduce life-cycle costs.
ArmorFlex and A-JACKS are accepted pier scour countermeasures according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines. These highly engineered systems provide a maximum factor of safety to critical structures.
The Armotec® Family of Products (ArmorFlex, A-Jacks and Armortec) along with the latest addition of XblocPlus (a revolutionary hard armor system ideal for vast coastlines and breakwaters) offers permanent solutions to erosion by armoring the area of maximum scour.
