Erosion presents a very real threat to buildings and infrastructure, as well as to the watershed and the environment. The International Erosion Control Association Australasia provides essential information and education regarding the myriad threats of erosion, as well as the best options for halting the process and reversing the side effects caused.
The International Erosion Control Association Australasia spans 52 different nations and represents 17 professional practices. Formed in 1994, the IECAA is dedicated to establishing standards for control of erosion and sediment materials, as well as for designing innovative new ways to eliminate and correct erosion in all forms. It also provides service to the sediment and erosion control industry, helps promote member consultants and businesses, creates networking opportunities for members and more.
The IECAA has also been instrumental in furthering education in the fields of erosion and sediment control by creating sponsorship programs and providing ongoing training and education opportunities. While the organisation is relatively young, it has already had an immense impact on the industry.
