HYSON-CELLS

Overview

---

When the slope is NOT stable

When the slope is not stable in its own right then it must be

• stabilised by providing a Hyson Cells with in-situ fill gravity mass retaining wall to support the toe, or
• the face may be stabilised by using steps constructed from layered Hyson Cells with in-situ fill

The face of the slope may then be additionally protected as follows

When the slope itself is stable

The slope surface may be protected by

• Vegetative cover planted in Hyson Cells
• "Mock rock" constructed using Hyson Cells
• Vegetated No-fines Concrete in Hyson Cells
• "Soil / cement" (also known as soilcrete, sandcrete, ashcrete) in Hyson Cells
• Concrete armouring in Hyson Cells

• Environmentaltopic for vegetated solutions
• Spillwaystopic for riprap protection
• Wallstopic for gravity mass retaining walls
