Short Term Erosion Control Blankets are typically made from raw materials similar to the ultra short term blankets, such as straw, with a biodegradable lifespan around 12 months. They tend to break down much quicker than most other forms of ECBs and are a great solution for light to medium applications, such as mild slopes.
Short term blankets made of biodegradable materials afford an economical option for erosion control. They are designed and implemented to stabilize in-situ soil, thus reducing non-point-source pollution. ECBs provide many advantages as erosion control solutions including cost, speed of implementation, ability to vegetate, and meet a variety of longevity and performance criteria. Contact your GEO Pro to help specify the correct ECB by the intended longevity and performance for your project.
