Erosion and scour protection, proven in the field since 2006.
FES Solutions LLC manufactures the Texas Tuff Rock Bag™ — flexible, rock-filled mesh bags that armor bridges, shorelines, riverbanks, ports, and offshore infrastructure against scour and erosion. We've carried the product from a single problem on a jobsite to installations worldwide, and we still answer the phone when an engineer needs sizing.

From the energy industry to the erosion frontline.
FES Solutions was founded in 2006, originally serving the energy industry. Over the past decade the company sharpened its focus onto a single, stubborn problem that showed up on project after project across our team's careers — protecting structures and land from erosion and scour forces.
That focus became the Texas Tuff Rock Bag™: a flexible armor unit that goes in where coffer dams stall and rigid systems can't conform. Today FES Solutions LLC is a Texas-registered company serving clients worldwide, with manufacturing in Asia and a global logistics network of warehouses positioned to reach projects fast.
Misa H.
Misa H. founded FES Solutions in 2006 and has led its evolution into erosion and scour protection over the past decade. Before focusing on the Texas Tuff Rock Bag™, Misa built a career spanning property and real-estate development, multi-family construction, road and bridge construction supply, and flood-plain design and mitigation — work that ran, again and again, into the same problem: protecting structures and land from erosion and scour forces. That cross-industry, cross-continent background — with time lived and worked across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States — shapes how FES approaches each site today: as a placement problem to be solved simply, not a rigid system to be forced onto the ground.
FES leadership brings a technical and commercial background to the work — including degrees in physics and geophysics and a master's in business and economics — spanning civil, marine, and infrastructure projects across four continents.
Tens of projects worldwide, some running over a decade.
We've completed tens of Texas Tuff Rock Bag™ projects for DOTs, ports, agencies, and private owners. Some of our longest-running installations have held their position in the water for more than ten years without issue. A few we're proud of:
Lake Tawakoni Bridge — Texas DOT
Embankment and pier protection where crumbling concrete met scour and erosion. Rock bags eliminated the need for coffer dams and gabion baskets — the crew filled and placed 600 bags in two weeks after more than two months stuck trying to make a coffer dam and gabions work. The install saved the project.
Panama Canal — Erosion Protection
Riverbank protection for the Panama Canal Authority against river and wave erosion forces.
Port Protection — New Zealand
Rock bags installed to protect port structures against wave and propeller scour, still performing in place.
Coastal Outfall Pipeline — Northern California
Armor for a deployed outfall pipeline, protecting it from physical damage, wave action, and movement.
What makes a rock bag the right call.
Against gabions, riprap, blockstone, and poured concrete, the Texas Tuff Rock Bag™ wins on placement — the part of the job where rigid systems cost time and money:
- Filled in a repeatable, manufacturing-style process — simple, quick, and consistent
- No site preparation required for placement
- Works in still or moving water, fresh or salt
- A single point-of-connection ring makes placement fast and controlled
Tested and accepted
The rock bags are tested by globally-rated laboratories to industry ASTM and ISO specifications, with results validated by TRI Environmental/SGS/GTS. They've been accepted by agencies around the world — including Departments of Transportation and Fish & Wildlife organizations.
