Road construction
Modern road construction is closely linked to erosion control. Embankment, trenches railway dams and river banks are all highly susceptible to erosion immediately after their completion, since they are not yet protected by the vegetation from wind and water erosion.
These issues are addressed by the use of erosion control blankets and erosion control textiles. Both products are made from renewable raw materials such as coir, straw or jute and guarantee an optimal erosion protection of non-vegetated areas. In addition, they offer the growing plants protection and support them in their growth. Thus, a complete vegetation cover is formed in the shortest possible time.
Hydroseeding is recommended for particularly steep or stony slopes. During hydroseeding, a special machine, the so-called HydroSeeder, is used to spray a mixture consisting of various components on the target areas.
The carrier medium is water which is enriched with mulching materials, soil additives, fertilizers, adhesives and seeds. This mixture protects the soil from erosion and drying out until the grass and plants have grown.
