Coir Blankets

Coir blankets are a biodegradable blanket made from 100% natural coconut fibre. Coir is an abundant and renewable resource, increasingly used throughout the Civil and Landscape Industries in applications such as slope stabilisation, re-vegetation and bio-engineering. These blankets intercept runoff from heavy rains and dissipate the energy of flowing water and wind. Coir fibre promotes the growth of vegetation by absorbing water and preventing soil evaporation.  Coir fibre is different to other natural fibres due to its very high lignin content, which increases the fibres strength and longevity. Coir blankets have a longer life expectancy than other organic geotextiles and can last up to 3-4 years depending on climatic conditions. Coir Blankets are a superior alternative to Jute Mat.d Retaining Pins. 

Coir Mesh

Aussie Environmental Coir Mesh is a natural fibre mesh made from 100% natural coconut fibre that is spun and woven into various grades. Coir Mesh is an open weave geotextile that is fully biodegradable adding organic matter to the soil. Coir is an abundant and renewable resource, widely used in civil engineering and for land and slope stabilisation applications. When vegetated, it has the mechanical strength necessary to hold soil in place and prevent erosion. The coir netting breaks up runoff from heavy rains and dissipates the energy of flowing water and wind. Coir Mesh also promotes the growth of new vegetation by absorbing water and preventing the topsoil from drying out. Aussie Environmental Coir Mesh is also a great deterrent to lay down to prevent native wildlife such as Brush Turkeys from scratching up your garden.

Coir Mesh has double the life of jute and higher tensile strength than other organic geotextiles with a longevity of around three to four years. This allows ample time for natural vegetation to establish and therefore stabilise the area.

Jute Matting 

Aussie Environmental Jute Matting is used for the stabilisation of embankments or batters, and inhibit weed growth during the establishment of re-vegetation.

Jute Mat is 100% organic and is the traditional erosion control blanket used to protect soils in areas exposed to wind or high rainfall. The heavier grades of Jute Mat are also used as weed suppressants while the lighter grades of Jute Mat provides an ideal media for seed germination as it protects the soil from erosion while still allowing the seed to grow through the matting. The innate characteristic of “moulding” to the ground, allows Jute Mat to reduce moisture loss from the soil that aids the growth of desired plants. It has a life expectancy varying from 6 to 24 months depending on grade and climatic conditions.

Jute Mesh 

Jute Mesh is a biodegradable organic mesh, similar to Jute Matting but constructed with a loose open weave. Jute Mesh is useful on embankments and batters that have an existing vegetation cover and helps retain moisture by allowing water and light infiltration to encourage vegetation growth.

Jute Mesh has a life expectancy of 6 – 12 months depending on climatic conditions.

Geofabric 

Geofabrics are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. Geofabrics and related products have many applications and currently support many civil engineering applications including roads.
