Erosion control wood mat/blankets 8'X90' double sided
Wood Fiber Mat Double Sided (8' x90')
It doesn t matter whether it s a department of transportation highway project; an expensive, designer golf course in the Caribbean; or just a run-of-the-mill seeding job keeping soil under control is critical, and the effort to do so has created an enormous industry.
The industry, in this case, is that of erosion control mats and blankets. The point of these products is to prevent erosion, help seed germinate, and generally keep sediment, caused by movement of soil and water, to a minimum. The reason: to prevent water pollution, which the US government says causes $17 billion a year of onsite damage.
Quick-degrading wood mats are ideal for temporary erosion control.
The annual cost of fighting this is not cheap, and costs are put at $13 billion a year, according to the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program, based in Washington, DC. And a large part of this money is spent on blankets and mats, old but reliable forms of erosion control products.
The market has developed fast and evolved to include organic and biodegradable blankets and mats.
