Dycel is a fully interlocking precast concrete revetment system used to protect embankments from erosion above and below water level. Its cellular structure enables infill with soil or aggregate, allowing for vegetative growth or increased stability depending on the application.

  • Cellular units enable environmental integration by allowing vegetation growth above water and aggregate fill below water.

  • Withstood flow velocities exceeding 8?m/s in CIRIA field trials (Report 116) when installed with a geotextile underlayer.

  • Units are hand laid on geotextile membranes or assembled into articulated panels with non-corrosive tendons for underwater placement.

  • Designed for flexibility to adapt to varying embankment profiles and challenging site geometries.

  • Manufactured to a concrete strength of Grade C50 using materials conforming to BS EN 197-1 and BS EN 12620.

  • Complies with BS8500-1:2002 Class 2 for sulphate resistance, with cement content =?370?kg/m³ and w/c ratio =?0.45.

  • Mechanically interlocking shape enhances structural stability without bonding compounds.

  • Suitable for applications including flood defences, marinas, weirs, slipways, sea walls, reservoirs, and tidal riverbanks.
