Clearflow Treated Soil Stabilization Fabric
Clearflow Treated Soil Stabilization Fabric has three applications:
- An erosion inhibitor on steeper slopes, reducing the potential for surface erosion
- A screening process, preventing fine particulates from entering the stream and collecting those particulates already in the stream.
- As a final polishing agent, collecting the fines that are still in suspension after primary treatment.
Steep Slopes:
Steep slopes present particular erosion control problems. Soil erosion of sections protected by slope reduced the erosion by 54% where as jute geo textile reduced erosion by 99% compared with the bare slope. (Source: Wolverhampton University study, Dr. David Mitchell)
Solutions to Erosion Control Problems:
- Easy and economical to install
- Totally biodegradable within 3 years
- Highly absorbent -up to five times its own weight in water
- Helps prevent undercutting
- Protects wildlife
- Acts as a soil nutrient -puts back two tons of rich organic matter per acre
- Accepts hydroseeding before AND after installation
- Open weave construction allows overseeding after installation and after initial vegetation is established
- Ideal for bio-engineering applications
- Applicable to all climates and soil conditions
- Has been successfully used on slopes up to 1:1
- Anchored with staples/sol
