Elevating Sediment Control and Bioengineering techniques
The sediment control sector plays a pivotal role in addressing the issue of soil erosion and sediment runoff, a major environmental concern with the potential to pollute waterways, damage infrastructure, and compromise water quality. Coir Logs are popular because of the multiple benefits when using Coir Logs for Sediment Control.
Sustainable Sediment Controlling
Natural Bioengineering Solution and Bioengineering Technique
Stopping Sediment at the Source
After heavy rain, a bare slope does more than lose soil. Runoff carries that soil downhill into drains, streams and rivers. It pollutes the water and can damage roads and drainage along the way.
The best defence starts on the slope itself. BonTerra Coir Erosion Control Blankets cover exposed ground and hold the soil in place. Where runoff still flows, coir logs slow it down and trap sediment before it reaches waterways.
Less soil leaves the site, and the water downstream stays cleaner.
Bioengineering That Works with Nature
Bioengineering uses living plants and natural materials to protect the land. Instead of concrete, plant roots do the heavy lifting. BonTerra’s natural fibre products give those roots the start they need:
- Covers Bare Soil: Shields the surface from rain and runoff straight away.
- Holds Seed in Place: Stops seed washing away on slopes.
- Works with Hydroseeding: Pairs with hydroseeding to establish green cover.
- Retains Moisture: Helps young plants through dry spells.
- Lets Roots Grow Through: Roots bind the soil as plants mature.
- Breaks Down Naturally: Returns to the soil as vegetation takes over.
The Right Natural Blanket for Every Site
No two sites are quite the same. A gentle roadside verge and a steep, rain-washed cutting need different levels of protection.
BonTerra Coir Erosion Control Blankets come in weights from 270 to 1200 GSM, in rolls up to 2.4 metres wide and 100 metres long.
Choose our fully biodegradable blanket with jute netting and cotton thread, and it returns to the soil within 6 to 12 months. Where reinforcement needs to last longer, the PP-net variant is the better fit. Every blanket is fixed with steel sod staples or wooden pegs from our anchoring solutions.

Natural Solutions for Every Sediment Challenge
From busy roadsides to quiet streams, sediment problems come in many forms. BonTerra’s natural fibre products adapt to each one, protecting soil and water with materials that work alongside nature.
Where Coir Logs and Natural Fibres Make a Difference
- Stream and River Banks: Protecting the base of the bank from flowing water.
- Slopes and Roadside Cuttings: Breaking up runoff before it gathers speed.
- Drains and Stormwater Inlets: Catching sediment before it enters the system.
- Construction Sites: Keeping disturbed soil on site while work goes on.
- Channel Lining: Protecting channel beds and banks as vegetation grows.
- Revegetation Projects: Giving seeds and young plants a stable start.
Whatever the site, the goal is the same: keep soil in place and let nature finish the job.
Why Choose BonTerra for Sediment Control and Bioengineering?
They cover bare soil and take the force of falling rain, so less soil is loosened in the first place. The dense coconut fibres also slow water across the surface, keeping soil on site instead of in drains and streams.
Yes. Covering stripped or reshaped ground early keeps soil on site while work goes on nearby. The blankets protect the surface from rain until vegetation, or the next stage of work, takes over.
Yes. Laid over freshly cut or reshaped slopes, coir blankets stop soil washing onto the road and into roadside drains. They hold the surface firm while grasses and shrubs take hold.
Straight away. Protection begins as soon as the blanket is laid and anchored, while vegetation has grown. As plants establish, their roots take over the job of holding the soil.
Hard surfaces like concrete protect the ground but leave it bare. Bioengineering pairs natural fibre blankets with living plants, so the site turns green and roots bind the soil. The protection grows stronger as the vegetation matures.
