WHAT IS EROSION CONTROL
Controlling and/or preventing the effects of erosion on exposed soil and sediment from land development and human activities by wind and/or water in is an essential part of construction and land reclamation process. This includes reducing soil erosion caused by rain, water and wind, or protecting waterways from the inevitable build-up of silt, sediment or debris from nearby construction sites. Effective erosion and sediment control can manage surface runoff and prevent soil loss, loss of wildlife habitat, property damage, water pollution and promoting re-vegetation as soon as possible.
​Erosion Control is now divided into one of two categories. Rolled erosion control and Re-vegetation hydraulic mulch erosion control.​
-
​Rolled erosion control products are Sod Rolls, Erosion Control Blankets (ECB's), Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRM's) and Slope Interruption Devices (SID's).​
-
​​Re-vegetation erosion control products use hydraulically applied high performance mulch with additional special bonding agents designed to withstand extreme slopes and weather activity. When compared against the standard hydraulic mulches comprised of paper and/or wood fibers.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL SERVICES
We specialize in areas of less than one acre and those with limited and/or restricted accessibility but have the capabilities of doing much larger areas. Our services are techniques designed to protect an exposed soil surface while preventing or reducing the effects from wind or water from land development and human activities and are an essential part of the ground reclamation process.
​
Most provinces have laws requiring installation of erosion and sediment control on construction sites of specified sizes. General sites of 1 acre (0.40 ha) and larger require erosion and sediment controls. Smaller sites (e.g. a residential) may also be required to have erosion and sediment control.
