Flood Defence

Flood Defence Solutions with ECO-MSE Bags

Green Gravity Walls’ ECO-MSE flood defence systems provide a modern, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flood barriers and erosion control methods. Approved by the Environment Agency and trusted by Network Rail and major infrastructure partners, our ECO-MSE bags are engineered for use across rivers, canals, lochs, flood banks, and coastal waterways.

Constructed from 140 GSM non-woven geotextile, the bags are non-toxic, UV- and chemical-resistant, and designed for a 100+ year lifespan. Once vegetated, they become fully carbon-neutral while supporting biodiversity and enhancing Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) outcomes.

Key Features of ECO-MSE Flood Defence Bags

🌱 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Non-biodegradable yet safe for ecosystems, allowing natural vegetation growth and biodiversity.

💧 Water-Permeable Design

Engineered to allow water to pass through, reducing hydrostatic pressure, preventing waterlogging, and maintaining natural drainage.

🏗️ Flexible Fill Options

Can be filled with soil for vegetated finishes or granular material for rapid drainage and structural reinforcement.

Long Design Life

100+ year durability with a 75-year warranty, ensuring long-term flood defence and erosion control.

Quick Installation

Lightweight, modular design allows rapid installation without specialist machinery – ideal for both emergency and planned works.

🚧 Adaptable to Any Site

Suitable for confined, hard-to-reach, or restricted-access areas where heavy plant cannot be used.

Applications in Flood Defence & Waterway Protection

Our ECO-MSE systems are designed to provide robust, flexible solutions across a wide range of civil engineering and environmental projects:

🌊 Riverbank & Shoreline Protection

Stabilises riverbanks, canals, and lochs against erosion and scouring.

Repairs bank slippages and prevents future collapses.

Creates natural vegetated barriers that blend into the landscape.

🏗️ Infrastructure & Water Control

Permanent and temporary culverts and headwalls.

Bridge crossings in challenging locations.

Ditch lining to prevent erosion and ensure long-term water flow stability.

🌍 Flood Risk Management

Flood bank creation to contain rising water levels.

Cofferdams for temporary diversion or protection during construction.

Emergency response solutions where rapid installation is required.

🌿 Landscaping & Biodiversity

Creates stable embankments and naturalised flood defences.

Once seeded or hydroseeded, walls develop into living ecosystems that improve BNG scores and provide habitats for pollinators, insects, and wildlife.
