About the Project

Rochambeau Solar is a 20 MW solar facility that produces clean, renewable energy for the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Colonial supplied Strata (EPC) with site work materials for erosion control, soil health, soil stabilization and perimeter control from September 2021 through August 2023.

GEOWEB® for Slope and Channel Stabilization

Several channels connected to BMP ponds experienced severe erosion at Rochambeau. This was mostly attributed to the sandy soil that was easily dislodged during major rain events. After check dams and rolled erosion control blankets failed to slow the flow and stop erosion, GEOWEB® geocell was installed to stabilize the soil.

GEOWEB confined the sandy soil to prevent movement and erosion. The cellular confinement system was infilled with soil, covered with a Coconut Erosion Control Blanket and seeded for permanent vegetation.
