Defencell is often chosen to stop coastal erosion or mitigate against it because not only is it effective, it is extremely inexpensive compared to most alternative options commonly found in the market or deployed in the coastal environment.
Common forms of hardening a beach to prevent coastal erosion consist of installing large rocks, rip rap, bulkheads, sheet piling, and concrete walls. These structures are expensive, often difficult to get permitted for building, and leave a hardened beachfront whereas the Defencell product is extremely economical in comparison. It is easy to build without specialized equipment or knowledge and allows for local fill material and vegitation which leaves a structure that does better at blending into the environment.
Similar to our opinion that there is no single best solution to stop all forms of floodwaters, we believe there is no best solution to stop coastal erosion or to prevent coastal erosion from happening but we do believe in the value of having a fantastic option in Defencell as one of the easiest and most effective metods on the market to stop coastal erosion or at least slow it down.
The lightweight nature of this product, simplicity of construction, and ability to use locally available fill material also make this product one of the easiest solutions to combat coastal erosion in even the most remote and hard to reach places where you may otherwise be forced to barge in rocks or rip rap. It is environmentally inert, easily cut and modified during construction, and can be tailored to suite the most difficult of installation sites.
