Typical Erosion Control Measures
Erosion control involves installing features that prevent soil displacement from wind, rain, or runoff during and after construction. Common methods include silt fencing, drainage channels, and turfing.
- Essential for sloped, newly graded, or low-lying industrial sites
- Often mandated by environmental or municipal authorities during site development
Estimated Cost Range
The cost of erosion control depends on site size, slope, soil type, and rainfall exposure.
- Basic erosion control (silt fences, mulching, temporary drains): ₹5 to ₹15 per square foot
- For 1 acre, total cost may range from ₹2 lakh to ₹6 lakh
- Enhanced solutions like retaining walls or permanent stormwater systems may increase costs further, especially on steep or large sites
