To do this you need to key it into the slope by digging a small trench on the top of the slope.
What does an erosion control blanket do.
An erosion control blanket composed of processed slow degrading natural or polymer fibers mechanically bound together between two slow degrading synthetic or natural fiber nettings to form a continuous matrix or an open weave textile composed of processed slow degrading natural or polymer yarns or twines woven into a continuous matrix.
The erosion control blankets are relatively easy to install.
Gei works erosion control blankets offer a range of natural fiber products to help control erosion on slopes channels banks roads and hillsides.
Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture land development coastal areas river banks and construction effective erosion controls handle surface runoff and are important techniques in preventing water pollution soil loss wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.
The largest concern is making sure the water moves over the top of the blankets.
Secure the blanket to the trench by driving staples or stakes through the erosion control mat and into the bottom of the trench.
Wattles also minimize erosion and runoffs but are most commonly used in slopes.
They provide effective erosion control until vegetation is able to take root.
In this trench you lay the top end.
Erosion control blankets also protect the land from polluted waters coming from eroded soil from other sites.
Working to meet both short term and long term requirements for erosion control construction available products include coir straw wood fiber and strawcoco blends.
Photodegradable erosion control blankets typically have netting made from materials like plastic.
Wattles can be made out of straw and as time passes it blends in with the soil and adds.
They do a good job in catching water as it goes down the slope.
These erosion control blankets provide ideal conditions.
After that happens those parts of the netting break down under exposure to sunlight.
When wet the wood fibers expand to form a strong matrix that can hold up to 100 times its own weight in water.
The plastic contains uv stabilizers designed to stop functioning after a specific amount of time.
Photodegradable erosion control blankets.
Erosion control blankets and straw mats are designed to protect hills slopes wetlands and banks from wind and water erosion.
Specifically this erosion control blanket has single netting and is quicker to degrade than other blankets.
Then absorbed water is available to the soil and plants as needed.
