Following the extensive flooding in 2013, significant erosion occurred along the riverbanks in the Kananaskis area, resulting in redirected and altered river courses. The changes caused severe flooding and damage to the adjacent golf course. Devcon was contracted to restore the affected area by repairing and armoring the eroded banks and reestablishing the original river channels.

To armour the eroded banks and restore the original river channel, Devcon’s scope required closing pathways, building temporary haul roads, accommodating traffic flow, stripping and grading, removing unstable materials, importing and placing rock armouring, installing river isolations, constructing fish-habitat features with woody-debris clusters, harvesting, transporting, and installing native vegetation (primarily willows). Along with removing and reinstating a force sanitary line and a force water main. We installed erosion and sediment control measures to prevent further damage.
