SEDIMENT CONTROL
Unprotected topsoil is vulnerable to significant sediment problems. When land is stripped of grass, trees, and other plants, the soil becomes exposed to the water and wind becoming loose. Precipitation picks up the loose soil particles, which then get carried away in the runoff on its way to our lakes, ponds, streams, channels, and rivers. When the flow of water slows down, the soil particles settle out as sediment.
Sediment can be detrimental to the environment. Nutrients, such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous that are attached to the sediment, trigger algae blooms in ponds and lakes. Algae reduces water clarity, depletes oxygen, kills fish and other aqua life, and produces unpleasant odors. Excessive sediment blankets the stream bottom destroying the fish and other living organisms on the streambed. Muddiness from the sediment impairs in-stream photosynthesis, thus reducing the aquatic food supply and habitat.
Sediment also has an economic impact. Dredging ponds and lakes and restoring stream channels are costly and labor intensive.
E-Coir Sediment Control Products
E-Coir Wattles are made from coir mat liner and inside the tubes are filled with baby coir fiber and mattress coir fiber. Coir fiber is uniformly packed into a high strength coir twine netting to hold the coir mat liner.
E-Coir Wattle effectively traps sediment and improves water quality. The wattles filter overland waterflow, trapping and holding sediment on the bank that would otherwise end up in the water or in the dry areas below. E-Coir Wattles are the best alternative to temporary sediment control products such as straw wattles or hay bales.
E-Coir Wattles work well, when sitting directly in water and out of water, on slopes and can hold the site stable for 4-6 years. This gives sprouting seeds ample time to develop an intricate root system that will continue the task of stabilization after the wattles have decomposed. The lightly packed coir fiber allows cleaner water to pass through the E-Coir Wattle leaving sediment behind.

E-Coir Check Dam
E-Coir Check dam is made from coir mat square type liner is filled with baby coir fiber and mattress coir fiber. Coir fiber is uniformly packed into high strength coir twine netting connected with machine spun upstream and downstream E-Coir Geotextile. It reduces the water flow and filters the sediment. Closely woven E-Coir Geonet prevents downstream and upstream undercutting while trapping sediment and improving water quality.
E-Coir Check Dam works well, when sitting directly in water and out of water, on slopes and can hold the site stable for 4-6 years. It is easy to carry, easy to use and performs very well in any properly installed project site.
