For this project, the department was brought in to eliminate an erosion problem.

A heavy rain washed out a road that crossed over a stream right into the Cape Fear River .  A money-saving solution was sought to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

After hours of planning and research, it was decided that a gabion dam should be built across the stream.  The dam allows water to gradually pass through it, which in turn, prevents the road from being washed out in future rainstorms.
