Erosion control

The erosive process can be mitigated and mostly avoided by protecting and preserving the fragile soil layer and creating a suitable support to vegetation. However, there are areas that are subject to destruction by erosive impact. In these areas, vegetative consolidation is not possible and therefore need to be protected. To protect soil from washout, that doesn’t allow vegetation to grow, we can use technical materials as bionets, biomats, geomats and erosion control geocomposites.

Bionets are made of natural coir fibers, jute or sisal, woven or knotted so as to form an open structure and at the same time able to adapt to the substrate. They are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly.

Biomats are made of straw, coir, straw and coir, jute or other biodegradable fibers that are compatible with the environment. Biomats can be also pre-seeded with different seed mixtures depending on the situation.

Bionets and Biomats are characterized by an high water holding capacity and they can protect the soil against surface erosion phenomena through a mechanical protection; they foster the formation of an ideal microclimate and, thanks to their decomposition over time, they increase soil fertility.
