Notes
The City of Greeley, CO wanted a permeable alternative to the rigid, 6” reinforced concrete originally designed on the Clarkson Channel Project. Hanes Geo Components suggested replacing the concrete invert with Flexamat®, giving the City a flexible, permeable solution that would allow for native habitat restoration and better withstand freeze/thaw conditions common in the Front Range of Colorado. In addition to the environmental benefits, Flexamat® saved the city a considerable amount of money and construction time compared to concrete. “Using Flexamat® has saved us so much construction time and money over lining the bottom with concrete. We are very happy with the look and performance.” said a City of Greeley official.
