The Works included re-culverting the watercourse through the Town, laying of new surface water sewers, effecting improvements to existing streamcourses and construction of a cascade of downstream balancing reservoirs to attenuate the runoff from the Town before it entered the river The Underground House, featured in the Channel 4 programme Grand Designs, utilised Hy-Tex CoirMesh 900 to protect the steep slopes from erosion

Introduction

CoirMesh™ open weave, pure coconut, meshes are the strongest and most durable natural fibre surface erosion control solutions available. They are therefore recommended on sites where erosion forces/climate are harsh, or plants slow to establish.

Applications

Typical applications include riverbanks and drainage channels (where flow rates and stresses are high); exposed sites such as uplands or coasts; wildflower restoration (because plants require longer to develop); and recreation areas (as abrasion is high).

Erosion Control

CoirMesh™ mattings effective control soil loss and promote sedimentation; create a favourable micro climate to promote growth; shelter seedlings against windrock; decompose slowly to provide prolonged protection; and their high tensile strengths can be utilised to offer temporary soil reinforcement.

Key Features

A wide range of mesh densities, and patterns (including looped piles), are available to provide the ideal balance between surface protection and the requirements of flora.
