Proper planning, construction, and maintenance of waterways and their banks are crucial for preventing hydraulic risks that affect residential areas, agricultural settlements, production sites, and infrastructures. This process is also vital for protecting areas of environmental and landscape interest.
Adequate expansion boxes and detention basins play a significant role in risk prevention. Additionally, constructing minor yet robust infrastructures in proximity to waterways is essential. Equally important is the careful design and construction of bank protections to mitigate superficial and deep erosions that can lead to severe flooding.
Virmat pre-seeded erosion control geomats, and geomeshes provide practical and cost-effective solutions for water erosion and spillway protection. These materials are highly effective for surface protection of waterway banks, whether for artificial reservoirs or embankments of canals and rivers.
Viresco Sator, our biodegradable erosion control pre-seeded biomat, is ideal for scenarios with reduced water flow and speed, such as ponds and drainage canals. It stands out for its high performance and aesthetic quality.
The resulting bank and shore regrassing harmonise with the landscape, adhering to protection restrictions while ensuring strength and a natural appearance of settled plant species. These plants are selected for their low-growth habits to minimise maintenance requirements. Additionally, using natural fertilisers helps reduce environmental impact and prevent water eutrophication.
Viresco Coco is a coconut erosion blanket, made up of a woven coir net and a Viresco Sator seed mat, promotes a uniform vegetative growth, as well as a safe stabilization of slopes and escarpments.
The preseeded fiber mat recommended by Virens is a natural and sustainable solution, totally biodegradable in 24–36 months. Available in a green-brown colour, it integrates harmoniously with the environment, offering a technical, effective and sustainable solution for the consolidation and redevelopment of the soil.
This type of preseeded coir fiber mat is ideal for hydraulic structures and for the consolidation of escarpments that are both very steep and subject to superficial detachment events. Unlike traditional materials, this innovative product offers optimal results in a single operational phase, thus reducing costs and working times.
RecsViresco, our pre-seeded anti-erosion geocomposite with double-twisted wire mesh, is an advanced erosion control system, used in consolidation and revegetation of escarpments in the construction of hydraulic containment works: embankment recovery, flooded banks, embankment reinforcement, expansion boxes and detention basins, overflow basins, etc.
The strategic utilisation of Viresco Coco, Virmat, RecsViresco and Viresco Sator, products is instrumental in ensuring effective water erosion control and spillway protection, thereby contributing to waterway environments’ overall safety and aesthetic enhancement. This comprehensive approach guarantees our waterways’ long-term stability and beauty while aligning with environmental protection principles.
