The Elizabeth, CO site represented a semi-rural vertical construction project with moderate slopes and variable drainage conditions. Hercules Eco Blocks™ were installed to manage both sheet flow and concentrated runoff. Monitoring occurred over six months and emphasized erosion resistance, stability on uneven ground, and ease of maintenance. Observations from this site helped assess performance in mixed soil conditions.
411 units (~1,644 ft) were deployed. After seven months, only three blocks (<1%) were damaged beyond use, maintaining excellent performance across long-term exposure.
Traditional measures were 1.4x more non-compliant. Eco Block™ repairs involved quick resets, while traditional controls needed full replacements.
