Coconut Coir Logs & Erosion

Image
Do you ever imagine coir made off coconut can prevent erosion? Yes! You heard it right, coconut coir can prevent erosion . Coconut Coir Logs  are a biodegradable erosion control material. These are used in hills, banks, shorelines, and other erosion-prone areas. Coir logs are also used to prevent beach erosion and these materials also can hold sand in place during beach restoration. Coconut Coir Logs  are tightly wrapped dense cylinders of natural coconut coir fiber, held together with strong, Eco-friendly natural coir twine webbing, also made from coconut fiber. Coconut coir is usually  easy to place, use, and as well as to install, these coir fiber logs can create a natural control area which helps establish growth and control erosion. Coconut coir logs have been effectively used for erosion control  restoration projects, stabilization areas, and construction job sites , Construction sites use coir logs for retaining and filtration. Coir log features strong b...

Erosion control in Slope

Image
If we want to know the solution of erosion control in slope at first we have to acquire a clear knowledge about erosion and uses of slopes in structures. Erosion is a natural phenomena in which earthen materials are worn away & transported by natural forces as wind, water etc. And on the other hand Slope is one kind of surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another. Roads, embankment, end sides of the bridges & fly overs do consist slopes to stable the structures but more often slopes get affected by the erosion & occurs hazardous event & be the reason of massive structure failure. Now we have to understand the relation between slope & erosion. In slopes of the structures water and gravity work together to cause erosion. Sometimes massive precipitation occurs which made the soil thoroughly soaked with water. Water made the slopes of the cliff so heavy and loosened that the bonds between particles of soil so much that the force of gravity cau...
