EROSION CONTROL SOLUTIONS/ EROSIONSSCHUTZ/ JUTEGEWEBE
VMAX -Erosion control (erosionsschutz) mats are used to achieve optimal erosion control and greening success during the three development phases of erosion control systems. This specially designed structure anchors and strengthens plant roots in the soil, providing them strength for long-term stability. Thus, the overgrown soil surface is protected against the erosion effect of the running water in the long term.
Bonterra Straw Blanket/ strohmatte
Bonterra’s strohmatten product range provides different variants of the classic erosion control blanket made of straw. They all have a 100% straw layer and strengthen with a backing made of PP mesh or jute fabric and a PP or jute thread. All Bonterra strohmatten can also be supplied as a seed mat. For this purpose, a carrier paper with seeds is quilted with the overlay.
The service life of the Bonterra strohmatten is up to 18 months. It depends on the site conditions, soil, water and climate conditions as well as the risk of erosion on site. This is a natural product which can reach up to 100% biodegradable.
Bonterra Mulch Mat/ Mulchmatte/ Erosionsschutzmatte
The Bonterra’s Mulch mats are laid flat or in strips parallel to the planting. The mats can be easily cut with scissors. The ground is protected from drying out by wind and sun. Evaporation of soil moisture has been proven to be reduced by up to 50%. An optimal microclimate develops, which has a positive effect on the root growth of the planting. Due to the coconut fiber layer, excellent thermal insulation is also can be seen and the service life of the PE film is significantly improved. At the same time, the Bonterra’s mulch mat offers sustainable protection against rain, wind and water erosion immediately after installation, thus providing embankments and steep walls with the necessary support before planting. Planting measures can be carried out cost-effectively in combination with the Bonterra’s mulch mat and are easier to maintain in the long term. The soil is darkened and thus the germination of unwanted herbs and grasses is prevented.
Böschungsmatten / Embankment mats/ Faschine
These mats which are made from Coir or Straw can be used to prevent erosion in the slopes with higher water flow velocity. Also, these Böschungsmatten / Embankment mats can be used to grow the plants of these riverbanks. This will automatically prevent soil erosion. Faschine (Fascines) is made out from PP net which is similar to the coir logs. It is highly used for the embankment processes.
Begrünungsmatten/ Greening mats
Begrünungsmatten of Bonterra have been used for revegetation purposes. It can be made with coir fibre and straw fibre with the help of PP net or Jute net.
Bonterra wooden peg beech/ Bonterra Holzpflock Buche
Bonterra Holzpflock Buche is made of unbreakable and knot-free hardwood, finely sawn and left in its natural state. Knock in around the wooden peg more easily to be able to, the lower end is cut to a point. Bonterra Holzpflock Buche is used when attaching erosion control mats and fabrics in any slopes. Also as an Alternative, Bonterra Steel sod staples have been used to peg the erosion control blankets, geotextiles and weed controlling mats. This Steel pins are more durable and stronger than the Bonterra Holzpflock Buche.
