Introducing RAFT: Bioretention Made Simple RAFT intercepts stormwater runoff in urban environments where space is limited, and retrofits are difficult. We’ve made urban raingardens quick and easy to install by simplifying the structure holding it. InfraSGA is developing green infrastructure that is attainable by all and feasible for wide market adoption. The challenge is creating a product suitable for a range of site conditions, without need for specialty contractors, and cost-effective for wide adoption. Our debut product RAFT makes green stormwater infrastructure effective within tough urban environments like streetscapes, plazas, and parking lots. Designed to be installed by a small crew of three, the system is perfect for rapid deployment by a public works department using basic construction knowledge. RAFT provides our cities and towns more opportunities to try green stormwater solutions that reduce deadly floods and protect our natural waterway resources.

Muscle Wall is… a flood barrier system company that uses durable, hollow, walls that can be quickly moved into place to divert or contain water. Our reusable 2-foot, 4-foot, and 8-foot-tall walls when filled with water give them added stability. Time is money and Muscle Wall saves both. One 4ft x 6ft wall is equivalent to 468 sand bags. They have a UV rating of 10 years and can be set in place as a permanent solution or easily stack and store in a small area per our patented “L” shaped design.

Muscle Wall is a product not a service. We can demo how to deploy and suggest applications.

Muscle Wall was recently awarded FM Approval as well as a Certification of Compliance of all testing by the USACE for 2ft, 3ft, and 4ft Muscle Wall products. Muscle Wall is the only product on the market to receive this approval by the USACE for a flood control barrier at 4 feet high.

Native Shorelines is a turn-key provider of Living Shorelines to private landowners, communities, institutions, and any riparian landowner experiencing shoreline erosion. We handle the entire process from initial landowner outreach through permitting and installation. We offer Living Shorelines that are an environmentally superior, competitively priced alternative to hardened bulkheads and seawalls. As a more effective and environmentally sound solution, Living Shorelines can improve water quality, provide fisheries habitat, increase biodiversity, and promote recreation. Native Shorelines utilizes its patent-pending QuickReef modules which are made from predominantly native materials. Installation is conducted by hand, wherever possible, and integrated within the landscape to minimize disruption to the existing conditions at the site. Our QuickReef modules act as natural barriers to wave energy, actively trap sediment, and allow marshes to accrete and adapt as sea level rises.

Hoffler Creek

Natrx worked with the James River Association to design a living shoreline solution for a property facing severe damage and erosion due to heavy storms in the area. The wave energy at this site was higher than most living shoreline solutions could withstand but Natrx ExoForms™ were utilized to effectively stabilize the site and maintain a natural aesthetic appearance.

Testimonials:

Ron Gorton, Golden Oyster Marine Services

We were moving and installing reef modules in record time. Installation of Natrx’s ExoForms is a straightforward process where everyone is able to work together quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Natrx has gone above and beyond for us. With their Natrx Assess capability it’s unbelievable what they can do—From providing an in-depth, ten-year history of site conditions, to understanding exactly where to place reefs for maximum impact at minimal cost.

Wayne Savage, Senior Engineer, Bay Design Group

We started with a plan for a traditional stone breakwater and the project cost was out of reach. Natrx put together an approach that was not only cost effective but also enhanced the look of the shoreline while protecting it from very large storms.

You have rock – that everyone has always thought was the be-all, end-all – and then you get this new product from Natrx and it outperforms rock in big storms.

Lewie Lawrence, Executive Director, Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission

By working with companies like Natrx, we can offer more efficient technologies and design more effective solutions that are also cost effective. To be viable in the flood mitigation space, new solutions can’t be costly. The solution has to match the pocketbook.

The speed with which we can address coastal issues with Natrx versus having to pile up rocks is a significant advantage. Our contractor was able to deploy 80 feet per day of custom Natrx ExoForms weighing 800-plus pounds each. It’s unheard of to be able to protect that much shoreline that quickly.

Natrx is easy to work with because they’ve been in the space longer than other companies and have the practical experience required to tackle all the challenges associated with addressing these issues.

Natrx is a Recognized Leader:

Natrx founders have over twenty publications and five issued patents for advanced nature-based coastal protection, and have deployed over 50,000 tons of biogenic living shoreline solutions in the past 15 years.

Our approach has led to meaningful work with some of the biggest names in infrastructure protection and sustainability science:

Our FloodDefender system design is based on the following Standards:
• American National Standard for Flood Mitigation Equipment (ANSI/FM 2510-2020)
• US Army Corps of Engineers – Maximum Impact Forces of Woody Debris on Floodplain
• Structures (February 2018)
• International Building Code (IBC)
• American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
• American Iron and Steel Institute, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing (AISI)
• Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA)
• NOTE : The engineering analyses indicate maximum steel fiber stresses and deflections to be acceptable for the application with sufficient factors of safety under all loading conditions required by applicable codes and guidelines. Engineering Analyses have been third party peer reviewed for methodology and accuracy
