Transforming & Rehabilitation the Mining Industry with Erosion Control Blankets

The mining industry grapples with a pressing concern: erosion which jeopardises topsoil integrity, pollutes waterways, and poses safety threats. Utilising the remarkable capabilities of geotextiles and coir blankets, we can engineer robust solutions for mining wall stabilisation and bolster vegetation growth.

Rolled Erosion Control Products in combating Erosion Challenges in Mining industry

In the mining sector, where the repercussions of erosion are profound, Coir mesh, coir nets, Coco Mats , Jute Geotextile, and Coir Blankets stand out as dynamic allies. Geotextiles, whether woven or non-woven fabrics, assume the vital role of shielding the soil from erosion and reinforcing its structural integrity.

Rolled erosion control product applications for a Sustainable Mining Industry

  • Mining Wall Stabilization: Stabilizing mining walls and mitigating erosion risks.
  • Revegetation: Facilitating the growth of vegetation on mining walls and disturbed areas.
  • Slope Stabilization: Bolstering the stability of slopes on mining sites.
  • Tailings Dam Stabilization: Safeguarding tailings dams and preventing erosion.
  • Water Management: Efficiently managing water flow within mining sites and preventing sedimentation in waterways.

The utilization of these natural solutions empowers the mining industry to transform its practices, tackle erosion, and contribute to mine rehabilitation effectively.

Coir blankets and geotextiles shield mining wall faces from rain and runoff, reinforce the surface and help vegetation take hold. For very steep or high walls, contact our team so we can recommend the right product and anchoring.
Coir blankets, coir mesh, coir nets, coco mats and jute geotextiles are all used on mine sites. Woven and non-woven natural geotextiles add extra soil reinforcement, and the right choice depends on slope, rainfall and vegetation goals.
By covering exposed ground, natural fibre products slow surface runoff and trap soil before it moves. This reduces the sediment reaching nearby waterways and helps keep water flowing where it should across the site.
After reshaping, exposed ground is covered with coir or jute products to hold seed, retain moisture and shelter young plants. Seeding or hydroseeding can follow, and the natural fibres break down as vegetation takes over.
Yes, coir blankets can help protect exposed tailings dam surfaces from rain and wind erosion while vegetation establishes. Every tailings dam is different, so contact our team for advice suited to your site.
