ArmorLoc

ArmorLoc®

Effectively Control Erosion and Promote Drainage

ArmorLoc concrete interlocking blocks are specifically designed to control erosion. The ArmorLoc system provides easy and economical installation when equipment is not feasible or cannot be used due to confined or hard-to-reach areas. ArmorLoc is installed manually over site-specific filter fabric on a prepared surface. It improves the landscape and promotes drainage from the smallest erosion control job to the largest commercial project.

ArmorLoc is available in two sizes and weight classifications that provide excellent performance during light wave and open-channel flow conditions. The unique interlocking design of ArmorLoc keys each block into four adjacent blocks to hold it firmly in position and resist lateral movement.
 
Benefits of the ArmorLoc System:
  • Lightweight and easy to handle - Easy to install in hard-to-reach areas without the use of heavy equipment.
  • Interlocking blocks - Conforms to ground contours, relieves hydrostatic pressure and resists lateral movement.
  • Open cells and joints - Ideal for revegetation to provide an aesthetic solution.
  • Strong and durable - Safe surface for pedestrians and vehicles and resistant to frost, seawater and road salts.

ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc for Outfall Protection

ArmorFlext Outfall ProtectionThe unique shape and interlocking design of ArmorFlex cabled systems and ArmorLoc hand placed systems provide permanent erosion protection at culvert outfall locations. Unlike dumped stone, which typically requires maintenance and replenishment after periodic events, ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc systems are permanent solutions that dramatically reduce life-cycle costs.

ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc for Heavy Loading Applications

ArmorFlex for Heavy LoadsArmorFlex and ArmorLoc provide a speedy and more flexible alternative to a traditional concrete pad and can be used for tank / heavy equipment turning pad.

Armortec Solutions for Shoreline and Stream Bank Protection

Armortec Steam BankThe A-Jacks, ArmorFlex, and ArmorLoc systems offer permanent solutions to streambank erosion by armoring the area of maximum scour. These systems also promote native vegetation for a natural enhancement.

 

SS Credit 5.1 – Site Development, Protect or Restore Habitat, 1 Point

Intent – Conserve existing natural areas and restore damaged areas to provide habitat and promote biodiversity.

Potential Contribution: ArmorFlex, ArmorLoc and A-Jacks
  • Protect slopes and channels with vegetated armor
  • Avoid use of rip-rap and other non-vegetated armor

SS Credit 7.1 – Heat Island Effect - Non-Roof, 1 Point
SS Credit 7.2 – Heat Island Effect - Roof, 1 Point

Intent – Reduce heat islands to minimize impacts on microclimates and habitats.

Potential contribution: ArmorFlex and ArmorLoc
  • Utilize on non-roof and roof applications
  • Create surface with high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI)

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
