Erosion Control

Erosion Control Blankets

Blankets manufactured with synthetic and natural fibers (fique and coconut); designed for erosion control of exposed soil to the Effects of water, wind and gravity for the prevention of soil particle detachment, allowing the re-establishment of vegetation. Our blankets Favor the formation of topsoil and reduces the incidence of erosive Factors such as rain and wind.

How to choose the right erosion control blanket

1. Rainfall and wind intensity, duration, and frequency.
2. Slope geometry and inclination.
3. Soil type.
4. Slope exposure.
5. Vegetation coverage type.
6. Durability.

1. Minimize raindrop energy and radiation incidence.
2. Contribute to rapid revegetation.
3. Reduce water speed, avoiding sediment dragging.
4. Neutralize wind action.
5. Protect seeds from birds.
6. Counteract soil drying because they retain humidity from dew, irrigation, and rain.
7. As they degrade, they improve texture and provide nutrients to the soil.
8. Specially designed for applications with a duration of less than 36 months.

1. Easy installation.
2. High strength materials create an anchor to keep soil in place protecting new vegetation from the elements.
3. Good flexibility which allows greater contact with the soil.
4. Integration into the soil once degraded.
5. Improve seed germination of plant growth.
6. Recommended for applications where the product must last more than 36 months.
7. High tensile strength, which ensures physical integrity for steep slope applications.
8. Resistant to solar radiation, which improves durability.

Benefits of the Fique Erosion Control Blanket

1. Biodegradable. Full integration into the soil.
2. Moderate passage of sunlight.
3. Recover degraded or burned areas, riverbanks, creeks, and streams.
4. Retain and release humidity, generating a microclimate between the soil and the blanket.
5. Useful life: up to 48 months.
