Netco Coastal Construction is introducing a shoreline protection method used for 20 years in Australia to the United States. Built along a 300-foot stretch of oceanfront for the White Cliffs Community Association in Plymouth, the stacks of 7-ton geosynthetic containers (above) filled with beach-compatible sand dampen, rather than deflect, the erosive force of waves. Given the name ElcoRock, the four-layer, 12-foot-high wall of containers is designed to last 20 to 30 years, withstanding ocean waves, vandalism, and storms, according to Netco.
