GSI Site Snapshot: The Materials That Matter
The materials used on site are an essential part of every slope protection system. In this Site Snapshot Reel, we take a closer look at several of the components commonly used in GSI’s field operations and how they’re used during installation.

Site Snapshot: Erosion Mats in Progress
Different slope conditions call for different materials working together. These photos give a closer look at erosion mats before they are fully secured in place. Erosion mats provide a protective layer over the slope, helping reduce surface erosion while supporting vegetation as the area becomes established.

Site Snapshot: Base Plates at Work
A finished slope protection system is made up of many individual components, each with a specific role to play. These photos give a closer look at the base plates used in GSI’s slope protection work, from the plates being delivered and prepared on site to their place within a completed reinforcement system.

Site Snapshot: Soil Nails on Site
The materials used on site are an essential part of quality work. These photos show the GSI crew handling soil nails, from sorting through them to putting them into place on the slope.

GSI Site Snapshot: Precision in the Field
Behind every successful slope protection project is careful work carried out in the field, one step at a time. In this Site Snapshot Reel, we take a closer look at the precision and workmanship behind GSI’s field operations, from measuring erosion control mats and preparing soil nail drilling locations to assembling gabion systems on site.

Site Snapshot: Built with Care
Every site calls for the right slope protection solution. These photos capture the GSI crew at work on a gabion installation, carefully assembling and placing each section to build a slope protection system suited to the site’s conditions.

Site Snapshot: Before the First Drill
Before drilling begins, every location and angle is carefully planned. These photos show the GSI crew preparing the slope and beginning the drilling process according to the engineered layout and required inclination for each soil nail.

Site Snapshot: Precision in Every Layer
Quality is often found in the details. These photos show the GSI crew carefully measuring and laying erosion mats to ensure proper alignment and full surface coverage. Every section is fitted securely to the slope because precise installation is just as important as the material itself.

Safety in the Field: Smart & Safe Lifting
Lifting and moving materials is part of everyday work on many GSI project sites, and doing it safely is just as important as getting the job done. Before lifting a load, workers assess its weight, clear the path ahead, and use proper lifting techniques.

Safety in the Field: Equipment Preparation
Before equipment is used on site, it is carefully prepared and inspected under the supervision of both the Foreman and the Safety Officer. This step helps verify that equipment is properly set up, in safe operating condition, and suitable for the day’s work before it is put into service.
