Permanent Erosion Control

 A geotextile can help to mitigate the negative impact of soil erosion. Water erosion can be absolutely devastating to property. Sometimes the erosion happens very quickly and catastrophically due to a major storm event such as a hurricane or tropical storm. More often, it develops slowly as the ocean’s tide, the current of a river, or years of stormwater runoff work with time to eat away at land and property with equally devastating results.

The choice comes down to controlling the soil erosion before it takes place or dealing with the aftermath. Since failing to address potential erosion areas in advance can lead to loss of property, money, and perhaps life, the most prudent approach is to stop the erosion before it starts. That’s where a geotextile can be helpful.

• Long History of Use for Permanent Erosion Control
• Reduce Soil Migration
• Standardized Specifications
• Product Choice Based on Soil Type

How is geotextile used for erosion controls?

Geotextiles serve a variety of purposes in erosion and sediment control on construction sites. They are utilized as liners in sediment traps and basins, post-construction stormwater control measures, and stone-lined stormwater conveyances, including spillways, to effectively prevent erosion when applied by construction personnel.

How do geotextiles prevent soil erosion?

Geotextiles play a crucial role in preventing erosion by facilitating proper water drainage while preventing the transport of runoff and sediment. They are utilized for stabilization purposes and effectively contribute to the prevention of excessive pollution.

What is geotextile for slope erosion control?

Geotextile fabric provides an ideal solution for soil stabilization on slopes and job sites. It is effective in preventing soil erosion caused by stormwater or natural events, while also catering to drainage requirements.

What is the best material for erosion control?

Research has shown that organic mulches, such as straw and wood fiber, are highly effective in mitigating soil erosion.

On the surface, there seems to be little difference between woven and non-woven geotextile landscape fabrics. Both are designed to increase soil stabilization and ground support. However, depending on what surface you have and what your goals are, choosing the right landscape fabric for drainage makes all the difference to the outcome of your project.
