Erosion Control Blankets (RECP)
Erosion Blankets
ECBs (erosion control blankets) provide a reliable solution for immediate erosion protection while aiding in the establishment of vegetation. The products are available in various matrix combinations of straw, wood, as well as coconut fibers. Additionally, these blankets are reinforced with single or double-sided polypropylene or jute netting to deliver effective erosion control in low to moderate conditions.
Product Features and Longevity
Durability as well as lifespan of erosion control blankets depend on the type of fill as well as netting used, but also with options that last anywhere from 45 days to 36 months. Additionally, these products are designed to naturally degrade, thus leaving behind established vegetation that offers long-term site protection.
Applications for Erosion Control Blankets
These blankets are ideal for enhancing vegetation establishment, and therefore are commonly used in environments where vegetation alone will suffice after the blanket degrades. Consequently, some typical applications include:
- Low to Moderate Erosion Areas: Perfect for projects with minimal erosion risk.
- Construction Sites along Roadways: Provides stabilization during and after construction.
- Moderate Slopes: Helps maintain soil integrity while vegetation takes root.
- Low-Flow Channels and Swales: Protects against erosion in gentle water flow areas.
- Lakeshores and Banks with Light Runoff: Reduces soil loss and supports vegetation growth in areas with minimal runoff pressure.
Why Choose Erosion Control Blankets?
The blankets not only protect exposed soil but also accelerate vegetation growth, but also offer a dual benefit for erosion management. Additionally, natural materials and degradability make them environmentally friendly while ensuring the site remains stable during the establishment period.
