Week 1 Update - Planning

Week 1 of our Emergency Soil Stabilizer project consisted of forming a solution for the issue of rapid soil erosion. The initial design is composed of an immediate toe wall followed by an underground grid and a surface blanket. The toe wall and underground grid are temporary measures to provide structural support before the surface blanket is applied. The underground grid will be biodegradable to eliminate the need for removal. The surface blanket will contain plant seeds to provide a more permanent solution, as these plants will grow roots that stabilize the soil.

This design is projected to be completed in a ten week period. Below is an outlined schedule on a week to week basis. This blog will be updated weekly with our progress.
