Coir logs provide biodegradable soil erosion control on slopes, riverbanks, and shorelines, building up a compromised area and stabilizing it so new vegetation can regrow. Made from biodegradable coir twine netting that surrounds a mix of mattress coconut coir, erosion control logs typically have a lifespan of 2 to 5 years until they naturally degrade. Erosion control logs are safe for existing wildlife in the surrounding environment. Coconut coir fiber logs return nutrients to the soil, naturally break down, and don't require removal after installation. See our coir logs specifications for more information!
Coir logs are an ecofriendly, biodegradable choice for Sediment Control and slope stabilization. Municipalities often face the challenge of protecting water resources, parklands, and public infrastructure from sediment damage. Coir logs provide a cost-effective method that aligns with environmental conservation goals.
Soil erosion control affects many different municipal departments. From road infrastructure to public parks to water management, controlling sediment means solving far-reaching problems. Soil erosion control can be a long process, but the fiber rolls ability to naturally degrade allows the project to have minimal maintenance.
Coir Log Features and Benefits
- Naturally biodegradable coir fibers
- Have a diameter of 12, 16, or 20 inches
- Increased strength from dense construction
- Easy to install and can be joined together
- Lifespan of 2 to 5 years
- Builds into existing contours
When installing erosion control rolls, it's recommended that vegetation be planted within the structure of the logs to increase soil and slope stabilization. Once the log has biodegraded, the plants will remain, creating a natural erosion control barrier.
