Slope Restoration on Urban Freeways
In metropolitan Detroit, erosion on steep slopes adjacent to the interstate is a serious maintenance, safety, and aesthetic issue. The standard treatment for covering slopes is turf seeding. While turf can be a solution to some erosion problems, it is presenting many challenges on steep slopes. Our goal is to research and subsequently develop best practices and viable alternatives to turf as a solution for slope stabilization.
