Coir Logs Australia
HEIGER coir logs can effectively mitigate sediment runoff in Australian terrains. These cylindrical structures are installed along slopes, banks, or water channels to control erosion by slowing down water flow and allowing sediments to settle. They act as physical barriers, reducing the transport of sediment downstream or into drains.
The fiber logs also serve as a filtration system. Water passing through the logs is filtered by the fibers, removing sediment particles and pollutants, thus improving water quality in downstream areas.
Sustainable erosion and sediment control solutions in Australia
Coir logs provide a stable substrate for vegetation growth, promoting plant establishment and root systems that further stabilize the soil and reduce erosion.
Furthermore, they are biodegradable, gradually adding organic matter to the soil as they degrade. When used in conjunction with other erosion control practices, such as geotextiles, they offer an effective and sustainable solution to mitigate sediment runoff in Australian terrains.

Why HEIGER Coir Logs?
Our coir erosion and sediment control products last 2X longer!
Superior Durability
Since we produce our own coir products, our sediment control solutions are designed with durability in mind. We use advanced manufacturing techniques and customized design processes. A state-of-the-art needle-punching process is employed to create tightly interlocked fiber structures, resulting in long-lasting products unlike any other product in the market!
We use a specialized compression method for maximum resistance to wear and tear. Our experienced engineers work closely with clients to develop customized solutions that exceed industry standards for performance and durability, with rigorous testing at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Sustainable Sourcing
At HEIGER, we source our coir from Asia. Asia’s warm and humid climate, combined with its nutrient-rich soil, produces coconuts with thicker husks and longer fibers. These longer and thicker fibers make Asian coir more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
We stringently utilize aged coir instead of fresh coir. By harnessing the benefits of aged coir, we offer products that excel in effectiveness. The natural decomposition process enhances the coir’s stability, water-holding capacity, and reduces harmful compounds. This results in superior erosion control, ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging environments. With aged coir, we provide sustainable solutions that protect landscapes and promote vegetation.
Applications
- On slopes and gullies where installing silt fences are not possible
- To protect gutters and footpaths
- Near open drains on the sides of the roads, to capture sediment and slow water runoff
- In areas where plants are being regrown and the material needs to break down and become part of nature.
- Along rivers and streams to stop the banks from eroding and reduce the movement of waves.
- Environmental remediation for degraded land and contaminated soil
- Construction and infrastructure projects
Frequently Asked Questions
Coir logs are cylindrical structures made from coconut coir, which is the fibrous material found in the outer husk of coconuts. These coco fiber logs are commonly used in environmental restoration and erosion control applications, particularly in areas where soil erosion and sedimentation are problems. They are often used in stream banks, shorelines, and other areas where water flow can cause erosion and destabilize soil.
These logs are typically made by compressing coconut coir fibers into a mesh netting or coir twine, creating a long cylindrical shape. The logs are then often wrapped in biodegradable netting to provide additional stability and protect the coir fibers from breaking down too quickly. It can vary in length and diameter, depending on the specific application and project requirements.
Coir logs, made from coconut husks, are created through a process that involves;
Soaking the husks
Extracting the coir fibers
Cleaning and drying them
Compressing and shaping them into logs
And securing the ends
These logs are commonly used in erosion control and restoration projects to prevent erosion, filter sediment, and promote vegetation growth.
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.
Coir logs are used for erosion control and stabilizing soil in areas prone to erosion. They are placed along shorelines, riverbanks, or slopes, and vegetation can be planted within them. The coir logs gradually break down while providing support and promoting plant growth, reducing erosion over time.
Near open roadside drains as they capture sediments and decrease water runoff velocity
Along steep slopes and gullies where silt fences cannot be installed safely
To provide protection for gutters and footpaths
For revegetation as they biodegrade over time
To stabilize riverbanks and reduce wave action in streams.
Perfect for use in environmentally sensitive areas.
Prepare the area by removing debris and weeds
Place coir logs along the desired contour, overlapping the ends
Secure logs with stakes
Plant vegetation within the logs
Mulch and water to promote growth and erosion control

Coir logs are extremely flexible and easily curve to the natural shape of the bank you are protecting. They can be stacked one on top of the other to form a wall-like structure on eroded banks or steep slopes.
Yes, coir logs can absorb water. They are made from coconut fibers, which have natural water-absorbing properties. This helps the coir logs retain moisture and promotes plant growth, making them effective for erosion control and restoration projects.
