Problem
Hamilo Coast boasts 5,800 hectares of green land, bordered by 32 kilometers of coastline situated in the Northwest of Batangas Province, Philippines. It has 13 coves
of white sand beaches.
Construction of Pico de Loro Cove, one of the finest of
the 13 coves, started. Exclusive residential condominiums, an exclusive beach and country club, and exclusive
leisure and resort facilities are part of the Cove. Construction of the access road going to the Cove required
cutting of some portions of slopes. Erosion problem occurred when, after cutting slopes for the access roads,
the lower and the upper cut slopes were then exposed to
weather. The Developer/Owner wanted to stop further
erosion whilst vegetate the slope making it aesthetically
pleasing, which is a part of the environment-friendly feature of the development.
Solution
The Developer/Owner (Manila Southcoast Development
Corp.), together with Maccaferri (Philippines), Inc.
agreed that Maccaferri’s 3D reinforced erosion control
mat (MacMat R) is the best solution to address the erosion problem and provide a green facing feature of the
slope on portions of the access roads where erosion is
common. The proposed erosion control and prevention
system was touted to be ideal, not just in addressing the
problem, but because of its cheap cost.
