Seabed Scour Control Systems Ltd (SSCS) has researched and developed a unique Frond System that provides an Immediate and Permanent Solution to Scour and eliminates the need for future maintenance.
 

Any structure placed on the seabed or riverbed, whether offshore, near shore or inshore will suffer the immediate impact of scour if the local soils and environmental conditions are such that scour can naturally occur.

Scour is the erosion of the seabed or riverbed by underwater tidal currents and, dependent on water depth and location, wave impact.

The solid profile of any structure installed underwater will cause an increase in the current velocity and the removal and displacement of sediment around it from its previously obtained equilibrium.

This is scour and it develops locally as steep sided scour pits immediately adjacent to the structure and globally as shallow wider depressions that can extend well beyond the structure.

This scour will have both an immediate and long term detrimental impact on the stability of the structure and if not protected or rectified can result in damage and repeated costly maintenance.










The SSCS Frond Scour Protection System provides that protection.
