How Erosion Control Companies Can Leverage In Hydroseeding

By Jeffrey Gray


Soil erosion and weathering are natural processes, which have been occurring at a relatively slow rate since the formation of the earth. If shore and stream channel erosion are left, then natural erosion of soil happens at a slow rate, bringing change to the landscape century by century. Erosion control companies play a pivotal role in curbing this degradation menace.

For the uninitiated, the process of Hydroseeding involves preparing a batch of material consisting of mulch, seed, fertilizer, and water. This batch of material is put in a tank of a special machine called hydroseeding machine so that it can get mixed properly. From the machine, the mixture is pumped and sprayed with the help of hydro seeding tackifiers on to the ground where the grass needs to be grown.

Understanding soil loss and its management is therefore profoundly important. To ensure that companies create the best erosion solutions and strategies, it is important for them to pinpoint exactly where top layer might be lost during their work. Having an understanding of where losses might occur, and then building a strategy to prevent such losses can help businesses to comply with legislation.

Compared to the conventional methods of laying down sod or turf, hydroseeding is much more effective and reliable. The slurry that is spread over the lawn promises that grass will grow rich and green in all conditions. More importantly, this process takes only a fraction of the time compared to the lengthy and tedious process of laying sod. Huge commercial areas and government projects that could otherwise not be handled can be easily and successfully taken care of through this method.

Since people have become more aware of the problems caused by soil loss due to industry projects, companies have developed a number of degradation control products which can be used to prevent soil from moving too far, or from becoming lost in nearby watercourses. To make sure that there are as few losses as possible, businesses need to use several different products at one time, therefore using multiple methods to reduce the overall loss of soil on the site.

There are different types of sedimentation management products, and each of them works well in preventing a particular kind of sedimentation and erosion. The effectiveness of your control plan also depends on the selection of a product used in controlling corrosion. It, therefore, is very important to select the right product that works in your case. For this, you should have complete knowledge about the type of problem. Also, understanding of topographic features, applications of best culvert protection bags knowledge of soil, and above all the ability to successfully implement the storm water management program all together play a vital role in sediment management.

Silt socks are also very efficient in capturing storm water that contains sediment. They are placed throughout the location at low points. They are kept at the location until the affected areas of the site are stabilized, often till the end of the project.

Tree protection is a very useful technique to control sediment. Temporary strips of trees are placed throughout and are removed when the work is all done. Trees reduce corrosion and filter runoff. Culvert protection is ideal for sites having storm drains. It can be permeable fabric, bag or gravel. It is placed over the storm drain to trap sediment and debris on the top and allow runoff to trickle through.
