MaxJute Thick is a high density, needle punched erosion
control geotextile made of Jute (hessian) fibres. |

Treemax CoirLog is a roll of coir, organic coconut fibre
enclosed in a robust coir mesh.
CoirLogs provide erosion and wave control structures in riparian
zones, and sediment capture in drainage lines and swails. CoirLogs
provide protection while
vegetation establishes and takes over the long-term stabilisation.
CoirLog is an environmentally friendly alternative to hay
bales. Hay bales tend to break up easily, have a short life span,
are difficult to handle, and are usually contaminated with weed
seed.
SILT RETENTION
CoirLog can be placed in swail drains, around grates, on steep
slopes to collect silt,
and used to slow water velocity, reducing erosion.
RIVER BANK PROTECTION
CoirLog can be used in river channels, streams and creeks
to help stabilise bank toes and provide structure to benching techniques.
CoirLogs can be stacked one on
top of another to form a wall structure while vegetation establishes
for long-term
stabilisation.
STABILISE STEEP BATTERS
CoirLogs placed across a steep batter will greatly slow water
velocity and reduce
sediment movement down the slope.
BIODEGRADABLE COIR
CoirLogs are made from 100% biodegradable and organic materials.
Coir is the fibre
obtained from the husks of coconuts.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Where appropriate, CoirLog is an inexpensive alternative to
the use of rock
armouring or gabion treatments.
For sediment entrapment, wave and wind protection of:
River banks and toe protection
Coastal wave erosion
Wetland erosion
Swail drains
Steep batters and sand dunes
Straw bale alternative
Rip rap alternative
