Transverse - Drop Structures/Weirs
Transverse works dissipate energy and therefore contribute to the stabilization of the bed material. Gabion weir and transverse/drop structures are used to control high energy hydraulic flows, carrying solids or sediments. These transverse structures alter the hydraulic profile of the flow, reducing its energy and capacity to erode until a balanced condition is reached. The type and configuration of the weir is dependent upon hydraulic and topographic conditions. Maccaferri offers design software for channels, longitudinal and transverse structures. This enables the designer to rapidly perform preliminary hydraulic studies to evaluate the bank protection or the transverse weir required.
