Internal Erosion

Home » Internal Erosion
A civil engineering technician with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center shows the sand boil filter kit designed and developed at ERDC.

Sand Boil Filter

• Is inserted into a sand boil to relieve underground hydrostatic pressure and inhibit subterranean erosion that can cause levee failure
• Can be installed by one worker in 15 minutes, making it 47% faster than installing sandbags, significantly cheaper, and less labor-intensive
• Reduces the time workers and people downstream are exposed to a potential levee failure as well as speed up the pressure reduction in the levee
