What Is An Erosion Control Blanket
Erosion Control Blankets: The Superior Alternative to Jute Erosion Control Blankets. Erosion control blankets (ECBs) are biodegradable mats that are used to cover bare soil and help prevent raindrop splash erosion. Their open weaves allow light and moisture to penetrate, supporting the establishment of vegetation, while preventing soil moisture loss and erosion of valuable topsoil.
The typical degradation period of the blanket is between 6 and 36 months, depending on materials used, climate and soil conditions; thereafter, the natural products degrade to form valuable nutrients for the underlying soil. At this stage, vegetation should become the primary erosion control tool of the applied area. ECBs are applied to slopes, stream banks, gullies, wetland edges or any area where bare soil poses a higher risk of erosion.

Why Choose Erosion Control Blankets
Jute erosion control blankets have been a popular choice for erosion control for many years. However, our erosion control blankets offer several distinct advantages over these traditional materials:
1. Locally Made: Our products are locally made using predominantly locally sourced materials. We keep stock of all products which are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations or exorbitant shipping costs on imported jute products.
2. Enhanced Durability: Unlike Jute erosion control blankets, our range of erosion control blankets is designed to withstand harsher environmental conditions, ensuring longer-lasting protection against soil erosion.
3. Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly: Similar to Jute erosion control blankets, our blankets are made from locally sourced biodegradable materials that break down naturally, minimizing environmental impact and promoting sustainable land management practices.
4. Superior Performance: Erosion Worx blankets provide better soil retention and stabilization compared to Jute erosion control blankets, thanks to advanced engineering and high coverage of materials that deliver improved erosion control results.
5. Versatility in Application: Whether for slopes, riverbanks, or construction sites, our erosion control blankets are versatile and adaptable, making them a more effective choice than Jute erosion control blankets in various erosion control scenarios.
Our erosion control blankets can be used in multiple settings where Jute erosion control blankets are traditionally applied:
1. Slope Stabilization: Prevent soil erosion on steep slopes where water runoff can be a problem.
2. Riverbank Protection: Secure riverbanks and waterways against erosion, offering a sustainable alternative to Jute.
3. Construction Sites: Ideal for controlling erosion on construction sites where soil displacement is a concern.
1. Effective Soil Retention: Keeps soil in place, reducing the risk of erosion and promoting vegetation growth.
2. Easy Installation: Simple to deploy and integrate into existing erosion control plans.
3. Cost-Effective: Provides a cost-efficient solution with long-term benefits over Jute erosion control blankets

With their combination of durability, environmental friendliness, and high performance, our blankets are designed to meet the most demanding erosion control needs. Choose Erosion Worx for a sustainable and effective solution for soil stabilization.
Which Erosion Control Blanket To Choose
The difference between the products is largely due to the longevity and performance of the products, as well as various other factors such as the slope angle and the risk of erosion, etc.
Straw – Type 1D erosion control blanket has a functional longevity of up to 12 months, but will vary depending on climatic and soil conditions. This blanket will be used on slopes where the risk of erosion is low to medium and is generally used on flatter slopes.
Wood wool – Type 3B erosion control blanket has a functional longevity of up to 24 months, but this may vary depending on climatic and soil conditions. This blanket will be used on slopes where the risk of erosion is medium-high and is generally used on more acute slopes. This is a general, all-purpose blanket.
Coconut Fibre – Type 4B erosion control blanket has a functional longevity of up to 36 months, but will vary depending on climatic and soil conditions. This blanket will be used on slopes where the risk of erosion is high and is generally used on very acute slopes and channels where a longer-term solution is required.
