After months of review and revision, the Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) has updated its guidance document for use by industry professionals.
The document, “A Technical Guidance Manual: Terminology, Index & Performance Testing Procedures for Rolled Erosion Control Products,” can be found on ECTC’s website at the link below or on ECTC’s website, www.ectc.org, under the “Testing” category in the “Documents & Tools” section.
This document was originally developed by the ECTC to aid in the understanding and use of the most recent terminology, index/physical property test methods, and performance research for RECPs. It also was intended to assist engineers, geologists, soil scientists, landscape architects, contractors, research facilities within the erosion control industry in the selection of RECPs. The new document continues with these efforts and includes bench scale testing information. It also contains updates to all ASTM standards to reflect the current state of practice.
