"We hit a home run today,” said Profile’s Vice President of Erosion Control Solutions, Marc S. Theisen, commenting on the impressive turnout at the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Levee Revegetation and Erosion Control Workshop beside Lake Pontchartrain, LA.
On May 20, 2009, Profile Products gathered a group of 75 spectators to demonstrate tests plots of sprayed hydraulic mulches and turf reinforcement mats. Profile teamed up with the USACE, who promoted the event. They organized the attendance of local levee personnel, parish public works departments, contractors, and writers from Engineer News Record Magazine.
The test plot consisted of several categories of Hydraulically-Applied Erosion Control Products (HECPs) with Flexterra®, shot into Profile’s Enkamat® 7020 and Enkamat® R30. Three hydroseeders operated the demonstration while audience members were allowed to touch the plots for stability. Dr. Beasley from Louisiana State University, Doug Deem, a Marketing Development Manager for Profile, Marc Theisen, and a representative from the USACE all spoke after the demos, providing input on the products and their capabilities.
Proud of the event, Deem said, “It began raining after the initial application of HECP. Flexterra held up extremely well. We got a lot of positive feedback about our product, which was great.”

The encouraging reviews from the attendees signify a victory for Profile Products. After seeking assistance with their erosion control and revegetation challenges, audience members left the demonstration with a better understanding of Profile’s hydraulic mulches’ capabilities and new armoring techniques.
