EROSION CONTROL

Soil erosion can be a serious natural problem, resulting serious damages to water sources, wildlife, and open landscape. Erosion is the result of several processes and can be divided into three phases, such as loosening of particles, soil transport and sedimentation.

E-Coir line of 100% biodegradable coir fiber products includes short term and long-term erosion control Geotextiles, as well as turf reinforcement mats. Geotextile products offer the following benefits and features to solve the natural problems in a natural way:

Product Information

Geotextile is a 100% neutral material; it is biodegradable and improves the fertility of soil.

Bristle coir blankets are woven with hand spun or machine spun coir yarns.

It controls soil and wind erosion and helps with supporting growth, development of vegetation and reinforcement of the soil.

Complete degradation of the E-coir geotextile takes place in 4-6 years.

They can dissipate the energy of flowing water and absorb the excess solar radiation.

E-coir geotextile can be used either as an overlay or an interlay – the former protecting the surface from run-off and the latter performing the functions of separation, filtration, and drainage.
