Description |
Material Source |
Coir logs are made from the fibrous husk of coconuts. This natural and renewable resource is derived from the tough outer layer of coconuts. |
Construction |
The coconut husk fibers are compacted and bound together into cylindrical logs using biodegradable netting or twine. The logs can vary in size and density to suit different erosion control needs. |
Erosion Control |
Coir logs are primarily used to stabilize soil and prevent erosion in areas prone to water runoff, such as riverbanks, slopes, and construction sites. They act as a barrier that slows down the flow of water, allowing sediment to settle and preventing further erosion. |
Flexibility |
Coir logs are flexible and can be easily shaped to fit the contours of the landscape. This allows for customization to specific terrain and makes them suitable for various types of projects. |
Absorbency |
The coconut fibers in coir logs are highly absorbent, allowing them to soak up and retain water. This property helps to promote vegetation growth around the logs, further enhancing erosion control. |
