ECTC’S ONLINE REFERENCE SECTION ON RECP INSTALLATION
The Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) has created a quick-reference section on their Web site, www.ectc.org, for the Installation of Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECPs). The section entitled “RECP Installation for Slope and Channel PDF and DWG AutoCADD Drawings” was created for engineers and designers to use during the development of their project specifications.
ECTC designed this interactive guide in which the participant can download either PDF or DWG (AutoCADD 2000 or later) drawings that are essential in the installation process of RECPs. In addition to the drawings being made available, the section also briefly outlines the verbiage for the step by step installation of both slopes and channels. This project is one initiative in the ECTC’s drive for education and standardization within this growing industry.
In 2004, ECTC learned from a survey of end users, government officials, inspectors, engineers, manufacturers of RECPs, and other industry professionals that the biggest obstacle to proper RECP function was poor installation. Because of this survey, ECTC decided installation education was in order.
