Soil bio-engineering

Soil bioengineering integrates erosion control materials in a natural environment ecologically, technically, and aesthetically. Common materials employed include biotextiles, biofelts, biomats, three-dimensional geomats, and geocomposite materials.

Virens products are thus an effective extension of conventional soil bio-engineering materials, mainly because they can restore vegetation in challenging terrains where vegetation establishment and retention are problematic.

Viresco pre-seeded biotextiles are effective erosion control materials for soil bioengineering projects

Soil bioengineering is a vital practice in environmental protection. It uses natural techniques for erosion control and site revegetation. This method ensures effective greenery restoration for various terrains.

Site revegetation with biodegradable materials for escarpments and landfill reclamation

Soil bio-engineering uses techniques and materials for environmental protection and erosion control, utilising natural or partially natural components to achieve site revegetation. This approach is particularly beneficial on escarpments, embankments, landfill reclamations, quarry recoveries, and other areas where safety and greenery restoration are essential. The biodegradable nature of these materials ensures their protective function lasts until the plants have sprouted and settled. Afterwards, they fully biodegrade, leaving no residue and enriching the soil with organic matter.

Optimal plant growth, erosion control and surface stabilization solutions

Virmat three-dimensional geomats combine Viresco® biotextiles with highly resistant synthetic geomats. They feature a high void ratio to facilitate optimal plant sprouting and growth. The Virens range stands out due to its pre-seeded products, which provide immediate vegetation results. Virens biotextiles can be reinforced with geomats or with double-twisted wire mesh as RecsViresco anti-erosion Geocomposite to enhance their protective and mechanical strength capabilities, improving surface stabilisation and maintaining a grass-covered top layer.
