How Erosion Control Companies Can Leverage In Hydroseeding

By Jeffrey Gray


Soil erosion and weathering are natural processes, which have been occurring at a relatively slow rate since the formation of the earth. If shore and stream channel erosion are left, then natural erosion of soil happens at a slow rate, bringing change to the landscape century by century. Erosion control companies play a pivotal role in curbing this degradation menace.

Soil corrosion has a direct local effect, often drying up streams which are necessary for local wildlife and flora, and a wider influence. Often, it causes silting of major riverbeds, and even traveling as far as the mouths of rivers. The necessity of preventing corrosion at its starting point means that many companies are taking steps to limit the amount of top layer lost during projects.

Understanding soil loss and its management is therefore profoundly important. To ensure that companies create the best erosion solutions and strategies, it is important for them to pinpoint exactly where top layer might be lost during their work. Having an understanding of where losses might occur, and then building a strategy to prevent such losses can help businesses to comply with legislation.

Knowledge in to soil loss and management also enables companies to ensure that their own workers are not affected by the amount of dust rising in the air. Particular locations where soil might be lost can be handled to the use of specific technologies designed to restrict the soil and prevent it from becoming airborne. Such areas include roadways, and in soil mounds around the site.

In addition to preventing this form of earth degradation, these companies offer other services. This includes culvert Protection, Consultations in any sediment regulation situations, Gutter cleaning and sweeping. They also provide Tree protection, Safety barriers, windblown waste containers, Silt socks and Drop gates.

For restoring failing landfill caps, hydro seeding technique makes use of remedial re-grading and capping. This is followed by a specialized hydroseeding application for stabilizing the final soil layer. The process helps in stabilizing the slopes and in making the areas more safe and reliable.

Silt socks are also very efficient in capturing storm water that contains sediment. They are placed throughout the location at low points. They are kept at the location until the affected areas of the site are stabilized, often till the end of the project.

Tree protection is a very useful technique to control sediment. Temporary strips of trees are placed throughout and are removed when the work is all done. Trees reduce corrosion and filter runoff. Culvert protection is ideal for sites having storm drains. It can be permeable fabric, bag or gravel. It is placed over the storm drain to trap sediment and debris on the top and allow runoff to trickle through.
