ABSTRACT:
An erosion control block having a bore formed therein for engaging with an inflatable plug. The inflatable plugs of plural blocks are cabled together so as to engage a matrix of blocks, and when inflated, the plugs allow the cable to lift the entire matrix of blocks. The matrix of erosion control blocks can be lifted by a crane and installed by the utilization of the cabling system having inflatable plugs attached to the cabling and engagable within central bores formed within each block. The inflatable plugs can be deflated and removed with the cabling from the installed matrix of blocks, and reused.
