An appropriate design often will combine several techniques to solve the hydraulic, mechanical, and physical requirements of the project in a cost-effective manner. Often, no single process or technique can solve the variety of erosion problems encountered in the field. Ercon is not aligned with any one particular product or system and is known for its ability to adapt to any erosion remediation situation.

Ercon maintains an edge over competitors who align themselves with only one product or system or treat erosion "symptoms" instead of creating long-term solutions. Through continuous development and field evaluation programs, Ercon actively creates new products and systems and currently holds several issued or pending United States Patents. Also, to offer improved erosion control processes, Ercon has entered into alliances with several major operators.
