Why Coconut Fiber Erosion Control Products Are Needed

By Roger Hayes


There could be lots of versatile materials that are found or are produced in tropical areas. These are items that will be made from the larger species of native palms, trees that are used for virtually anything and everything. Where these are found, folks have made good use of them, creating anything they could think of.

The fibers of this type of palm are among the hardiest, and these have been found excellent for utilizing in providing soil protection. This kind of protection is one provided by coconut fiber erosion control products and the tasks often include back to basics installations. Where once simply damming up or walling off certain portions of the ground was considered old fashioned, it has now come back into common use.

Concrete or cement are too heavy for any kind of soil and the concern that it should stay as natural as much as possible. Stone or cement may dam the ground or provide walling, but this will often not be resilient enough and provide other problems later on. It could become brittle and will degrade soil if it is used for planting or agriculture.

In any event, the land should be free from encumbrances for construction needs and the said issues for its being used in agriculture or landscaping. Piling things up will do very well only if the materials that are in use are often organic or could withstand water, thus making the simpler process more efficient to use. And plastics or natural fibers work well here.

Also, they are easier to install and will not cost more. When the need is to have the thing done quickly because it is urgently needed, constructing cement blocks or using stone will not work. The first takes some time to accomplish and so will the second, since it has to be broken up to fill up the necessary cracks or gaps.

Coconut fiber is one thing that works better here, always the cheaper alternative, even in comparison with plastic anti erosion socks. But the engineers will find both useful, and using them in tandem means they could have the combined qualities of both. These qualities are complementary and able to provide better erosion protection.

Floods will be very corrosive or will leach off soil, and topsoil is the most affected, and it silts up channels that need to be wide and free. Flooding could suddenly happen, or you could prepare for them if the weather reports are in. Socks will protection foundations and pillar bases while the fibers, often formed into bags, are filled with rock, sand or any other kind of fill could dam the floods.

Bagging is actually a more traditional process providing temporary walls for stemming any overflowing river, water channels and dikes. The preferred materials will be fiber, and it is because of how it becomes even more solid if soaked and could even prevent the minimal seepage that could be present in overflows. Walls need to be high up for preventing overflows.

There is no way of predicting how floods go, but you might have a reasonable idea when you prepare your property. Or if the community has a good emergency response team and personnel that also prepare for floods. There are proven methods here and these will often be used.
