Engineering measures are also known as mechanical measures as these measures target at preventing the movement of eroded soil by reducing either the length and/or steepness of the slope. On contrary to agronomic measures, these measures are typically followed for the land with a slope higher than 2%.

• Gully plugging
• Bench terracing
• Contour bunding

• Contour trenches
• Staggered trenches
• Gabion structures in waterways

• Borrow pit in dryland area before plantation
• Stone and vegetative bunds
• Control of bank erosion
