Erosion Control Products
Examples of Soil Erosion
Erosion Control is a major issues on almost every jobsite. By using a combinations of available products it can be mitigated. This can include Reno Mattresses, Filter Fabrics, Wire Tied Rip Rap Mesh, as well as specialty coir mats and logs and both natural and synthetic erosion control mats and nets.
What Is Soil Erosion?
Soil erosion is a form of soil degradation that leads to the loss of the upper fertile layer of soil. A variety of environmental factors can lead to this natural or man made phenomenon, including wind, water, animals, and vegetation or lack thereof. Soil erosion has led to increased water pollution since the upper soil is carried into bodies of water, leaving less nutrient rich soil in place.
Erosion Sediment Control
Erosion sediment control involves keeping eroded soil on construction sites to ensure that it is not carried to nearby bodies of water. The practice helps prevent water pollution and should be employed together with soil erosion control methods. The products used for sediment control include:
- Coir logs
- Dewatering bags and tubes
- Coir wattles
- Silt fence
- Straw wattles
- Gabions
- Erosion Control Blankets and Mats
- Geocells
Soil Stabilization and Separation
Soil stabilization and separation is a process that helps increase soil's stability and improves the soil's engineering properties. Some of the available soil stabilization and separation products are:
- Woven and nonwoven geotextiles
- Turf reinforcement mats
- Geogrids
Soil Reinforcement
This is a practice that helps improve soil stiffness and strength. It involves placing tensile elements in the affected soil. Geo-engineering methods are used when it comes to this practice. Some of the available soil reinforcement products are:
- Geotextiles
- Erosion control blankets and mats
- Geogrids
- Geocells
Erosion Control and Its Uses
Erosion control methods help prevent and control water pollution and soil erosion. These involve the creation of physical barriers to prevent erosion, including hydroseeding, cellular confinement systems, fiber rolls, and gabions. You can use them for:
- Stabilizing slopes
- Channel lining
- Protecting beaches
- Controlling soil erosion after a fire
- Slowing the flow of water in drainage ditches
- Dewatering small water storage areas such as ponds and lagoons
- Controlling soil erosion when carrying out a construction project
- Reinforcing roads, especially gravel roads
