Turfblocks or Monoslabs.
Wave Height Range: Below five feet.
Turfblocks are designed for hand placement on a filter with the long axis parallel to the shoreline
(Figure 48). Each block measures 16 x 24 x 4.5 inches and weighs approximately 100 pounds. Field
installations have not yielded conclusive results, but their performance should be similar to Jumbo Erco
blocks. Their thin, flat shape requires a stable foundation, as any differential settlement beneath the
blocks makes them susceptible to overturning under wave action.
