Hydropave Erosion
Control Systems are both
laboratory and field proven products since 1983. With millions of
square feet of the Conlock I & II systems installed in North
America, our systems continue to provide economy, aesthetics and
hydraulic function for specifiers and end users alike.
The Hydropave systems are comprised of precast, positive interlocking
articulating concrete blocks used in conjunction with a geotextile
fabric underlayment. This composite structure endows the project owner,
designer and contractor with successful working solutions to revetment
erosion control problems.
Conlock Articulating Concrete Blocks (ACBs) are available in cabled
mattress forms for submerged water placements and non-cabled hand
placed systems for dry or dewatered placements. Each system
accommodates the designer with a project specific product, granting the
most cost effective and functional option to the owner.
The Conlock I & II products articulate and are effective in
conforming to varying grade contours. The Conlock system provides a
dynamic interactive layer of interlocking blocks that attenuates with
sub soil expansion and contraction as well as freeze thaw heaving. Unit
to unit articulation results in minimum maintenance and an extended
product service life.
HYDROPAVE Erosion Control Systems consist of 20 different block classes
that can be produced with or without cellular open areas. This broad
product availability provides the designer with tools to control the
hydraulic variables such as the roughness coefficient, surface
permeability and hydraulic stability. Aesthetically, the designer is
capable of administering the project1s finished visual impact ranging
from the look of concrete, to tinted concrete or total vegetative cover.
Structural revetment systems exhibiting vegetative growth and habitat
for animal life are now ecologically favorable. Hydropave Erosion
Control Systems surface open areas can be varied from to 2% to the
industry's highest of 30%. Success of the bio-stabilization effort is
centered on practicing common sense approaches to block selection, site
geology, plant species and hydrology. A systems approach, where all
components are considered, insures that the finished product provides
habitat and is environmentally friendly.
Unlike conventional rock riprap, the Conlock systems are planar in
profile and provide a safe and accessible platform for maintenance
vehicles and pedestrians.
Installation rates will vary contingent on block system selection,
accessibility and site geometry. For large scale projects that are
linear in configuration, cable mattresses can be installed from 5000 to
20000 square feet per day. For more geometrically complex projects,
non-cabled systems can be installed form 2500 to 5000 square feet per
day. The Conlock II hand-placed system can be installed at rates up to
90 S.F./ Man-hour. HydroPave's experienced staff and contractor base
can assist in preliminary installation cost and installation rates.
HydroPave manufacturing facilities are available throughout the United
States. The product can be produced locally at rates up to 40000 units
per day and can be delivered by truck or barge on pallets or as
prefabricated mattresses. Product class availability is subject to
regional manufacturing capabilities. Call your local HydroPave Service
Center for product availability.

HydroPave's
CONLOCK ®I
HydroPave's CONLOCK®
I system provides an economical
and high performance mattress system due to its single cable design.
The individual units interlocked within the mattress give unequaled
structural integrity.
HydroPave's
CONLOCK ®II
HydroPave's CONLOCK®
II offers high hydraulic
permissible shear resistance, significant savings in installation cost
due to it's expanded unit coverage, high vegetative open area and
omni-directional flexibility.
