ABSTRACT:
A revetment formed from orthogonally arrayed reinforcing rods secured together. A membrane is secured to the back side of the reinforcing rods to retain backfill compacted behind the revetment, or a vegetation ground cover may be planted on the exposed surface of the revetment to prevent erosion. Horizontal anchor rods secured to the revetment rods extend rearwardly therefrom and are embedded in the backfill to stabilize the revetment. Adjustable anchor rods allow tension to be selectively applied to the revetment for the purpose of alignment.
