Coco logs are an economical, durable , biodegradable material and easy to install.
These bio engineering coir logs are used for shoreline and stream bank stabilization around the world. Coco logs are an economical,durable ,biodegradable material and easy to install. Coco logs are made from 100 Percent coconut fibre and bound by a coconut fibre netting to produce a totally biodegradable material lasting from 4 to 10 years . Coco logs secure the natural water front line and thus provide protection against carvings and undermining of rain forcements as well as the vegetation along the water s edge. At the same time they serve as a filter. These provide an excellent growing medium for new vegetation,which then can provide shelter,nourishment and habitat for wild life. Coco logs can be cut into sections and stacked for stream bank stabilization fluids containment,or used separately for check structures. In shoreline stream channel applications,the logs are resistant to the forces of water,to reduce wave and flow impact . Great for stabilizing shorelines,they can provide bedding where the seedlings and or cuttings are inserted into log with sediment. As the coconut fibre log biodegrades,the plants develop a well established root system in the shoreline sediment to retain the soil in place. Coir Logs are installed at the mean annual water level and fixed with wooden stakes. The installation of the Coir Logs can be carried out at any time of the year,depending on the application they also can be strung together to form a shoreline chain or stacked parallel to form a wall. Great for use in catch basin protection,keeping unwanted pollutants from entering into sewer systems. It can be used in desert areas for controlling sand overcomes .
