Geocoir™ Erosion Control Mesh: Your Premier Coir Matting for Robust Erosion Control

Phoenix Amenity Supplies Limited introduces the Geocoir™ Erosion Control Mesh, an advanced and sustainable solution designed for effective erosion control across various challenging environments. Manufactured from 100% high-quality coir fibre twine, this durable coir matting provides reliable surface stability for applications such as steep slopes, watercourses, and areas with significant wind exposure. With an anticipated lifespan of over 5 years, Geocoir™ slows water runoff, aids in excellent silt collection, and fosters natural vegetation growth for long-term embankment regeneration.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Superior Erosion Control: The robust mesh matrix offers immediate surface stability, making it an ideal choice for critical erosion control needs in demanding conditions.
• 100% Natural Coir: Composed entirely of coir fibre twine, this coir matting is an environmentally conscious option that biodegrades over time, contributing to ecological balance.
• Promotes Natural Vegetation: The open mesh structure facilitates easy planting and allows for healthy vegetation establishment, which further enhances soil stability and supports local ecosystems.
• Long-Term Protection: Providing protection for over 5 years, Geocoir™ allows ample time for root systems to develop and permanently stabilise the ground.
• Simple & Efficient Installation: Rolls are supplied folded and compressed for ease of transport and handling. The mesh is designed for straightforward installation, saving time and labour on site.

Technical Specifications:

For general applications, prepare the soil by raking the top 25-50mm surface layer to a uniform finish, incorporating fertiliser and soil improver if specified. Apply the agreed seed mixture directly to the prepared soil. Dig a 150mm “V” trench at the top of the bank. Carefully unfold and roll out the blankets, ensuring close contact with the ground. Pin the blanket to the downward side of the “V” trench at 150mm centres and backfill with soil. Secure the blanket to the slope using suitable fixing pins, with a recommendation of 3 pins per m2. Overlap adjacent blankets and ends of rolls by 150mm where required, securing them with pins. To improve ground contact and seed germination, thinly case soil on the matting (5mm maximum cover) and cover all outside edges with soil.

For ditch and channel linings, follow the general application steps. Upstream ends of the blankets should be buried in a 300mm “V” trench and pinned at 150mm centres. Unfold and roll the blankets out along the length of the ditch, starting in the invert and working up the sides, overlapping end joints in the direction of flow by at least 150mm. Pin at 150mm centres. Overlap the length of the next blanket up the ditch over the lower blanket by at least 150mm and pin according to the pinning pattern. Extend the mats beyond the crest of the channel by approximately 300mm and secure by soiling or trenching along the entire length.

Storage: Geocoir™ rolls should be stored off the ground in a cool, dry space and covered.
