Question 1

What is erosion control?

Accepted Answer

Erosion control involves implementing measures to prevent or minimize soil erosion caused by natural forces like wind, water, or human activities such as construction. HEIGER Australia offers a range of erosion control products including coir blankets, coir mesh rolls, and jute blankets to stabilize soil and promote vegetation growth.

Question 2

Why is sediment control important?

Accepted Answer

Sediment control is crucial to prevent sediment (soil particles) from entering water bodies, which can degrade water quality, harm aquatic life, and affect ecosystems. HEIGER Australia's silt fences and perimeter control measures effectively trap sediment and prevent contamination of water sources during construction activities.

Question 3

How Do Coir Logs Prevent Erosion?

Accepted Answer

Coir logs are unique as they are an ideal medium for vegetation to grow. This is important for erosion control because the roots of vegetation stabilise the soil. Stabilised soil is much stronger and becomes less impacted by erosion and the power of waves or the flow of water. As a result of this minimal sediments get transported from winds and flowing water.

Question 4

How do geotextiles help with erosion control?

Accepted Answer

Geotextiles offered by HEIGER Australia are permeable fabrics used to stabilize soil, reinforce slopes, and control erosion by improving soil structure and preventing surface runoff. They are essential components of effective erosion control systems.

Question 5

Are erosion control products effective in heavy rainfall areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, erosion control products from HEIGER Australia are designed to be effective in various environmental conditions, including heavy rainfall areas. They stabilize soil and reduce the impact of runoff on landscapes. We also offer products to mitigate the effects of stormwater.

Question 6

Where can I buy erosion and sediment control products?

Accepted Answer

Erosion and sediment control products from HEIGER Australia are available for purchase online through our website catering to landscaping, construction, and environmental conservation needs.

Question 7

What are the benefits of using natural erosion control products?

Accepted Answer

Natural erosion control products like those from HEIGER Australia are biodegradable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic materials. They promote soil health and minimize environmental impact.

Question 8

How do silt fences work?

Accepted Answer

Silt fences are installed as barriers to trap sediment-laden runoff, allowing water to pass through while capturing sediment before it enters water bodies.
