Surface Erosion Control

Our surface erosion control systems offer fast and reliable slope retention that’s easy to install and proven to perform, without the disruption caused by traditional methods.

Smarter Slope Protection, Built for the Long Term

Our Terra-Lock® Ground Anchors work by creating a strong mechanical bond between the surface layer and the stable ground beneath. This prevents soil movement, reduces surface erosion, and allows vegetation to take hold, enhancing long-term stability. The system works seamlessly with geotextile or geomembrane matting, holding it tight to the slope and creating a natural-looking, low-visibility finish.

Our products are designed to be simple to use. No cutting, no curing, and no need for heavy machinery. Installation is quick and can be completed with hand tools, saving time and reducing risk on-site.

For smaller or lower-risk areas, our Cell Grip® pins offer a cost-effective alternative that’s ideal for lighter erosion challenges.

Compared to traditional approaches like hydroseeding, concrete paving or re-grading, Gripple solutions offer quicker and more permanent results, with less disruption, and better support for sustainable land use. We also back every project with our in-house technical advice, helping you get the right solution for your soil conditions and project goals.

Whether you’re a contractor or a landowner, Gripple erosion control gives you the tools to protect your slope effectively and efficiently.

Let’s protect your ground the smart way.

Trusted by the Experts:

“Using the Gripple Terra‑Lock™ System made securing the HPTRM a smooth and efficient process. The speed of installation, combined with reliable anchoring, allowed the slopes to stabilize quickly and vegetation to establish—restoring the canal and protecting nearby property lines.”
“The Gripple Terra‑Lock™ System replaced a labor‑intensive rock ballast approach with a faster, more secure installation. The TL‑100 anchor and dedicated tools helped us install the HPTRM quickly, maintain soil contact, and deliver long‑term erosion protection on the C‑41A waterway.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our slope retention systems use ground anchors and surface plates to pin erosion control matting tightly against the slope. The anchors and top plates are used to stabilise the failure plane of the slope, the pins are used to pin and hold the matting, prevent erosion and support vegetation. All components are designed for fast installation with minimal disturbance.

Unlike rebar stakes, poured concrete or timber structures, Terra-Lock installs quickly, adapts to the slope profile, and performs instantly. It also requires fewer materials and avoids hot works or time-consuming groundworks. Plus, it blends into the landscape once vegetation grows, offering a discreet finish.

Yes. Our engineering team can recommend the right anchor type and size based on your soil conditions. Whether you’re working with clay, sand, or compacted soils, we offer tested solutions that deliver consistent holding strength.

Absolutely. Terra-Lock® and Cell Grip® are commonly used on riverbanks and drainage channels to reduce erosion from flowing water. Our systems keep matting secure even in exposed or wet conditions.
