Viresco Coco - Biodegradabile pre-seeded erosion control blanket

Download TECHNICAL DATA SHEET INSTRUCTION

VIRESCO Coco is an innovative, fully biodegradable mat made of a network of coir fiber mesh assembled to our Viresco Sator, a cellulose fiber bio-textile enhanced with premium seeds that can be customized according to needs, climatic period, and place of application.

The bio-mat also contains granular fertilizers designed to promote vegetative growth in new developments and also on poor quality soils. It can also include any soil amendments to optimize soil conditions. All this without the use of additional adhesives, netting, fibers or synthetic films, providing a natural solution for grass growth and soil fertility.

Biodegradable Pre-seeded Erosion Control mat

VIRESCO Coco, provides excellent greening results and erosion control on slopes, embankments, canal banks, etc., thanks to high germinative capacity, uniform seed and fertilizer distribution, kept inside the bio-textile in all conditions and in contact with the soil even with extreme inclinations. The uniform distribution ensures homogeneous germination and rooting.

VIRESCO Coco adheres perfectly to the soil, ensuring effective protection against erosion, runoff, heavy rain and attacks by birds and insects. These characteristics enable VIRESCO Coco to adapt to all surfaces and provide complete and long-lasting defense.

Viresco Coco: pre-seeded bio-mat for reinforced protection

If until now biodegradable erosion control nets were used individually, with VIRESCO Coco starts a new frontier of products. It combines different characteristics and contribute to the realization of soil protection and greening objectives that until now could be approached with different difficulties, methods and timing.

A product that simplifies and improves the work of those who must deal with the increasingly frequent problems caused by hydrogeological instability, aggravated by climate change.

Viresco Coco: benefits and advantages

VIRESCO Coco pre-seeded blanket offers a complete solution in a single step.

In the case of non-pre-sown biomats, it is necessary to spread the seeds below, before laying or above, after laying.

With VIRESCO Coco, everything happens in a single solution, providing effective erosion control and seeding, reducing costs, and allowing optimal vegetation establishment in all situations.

VIRESCO Coco is not affected by any weather conditions (wind, heavy rainfall, etc.), which could compromise the results of other turfing and slope protection techniques, especially in the case of increasingly frequent ‘rain bombs.

VIRESCO Coco provides immediate surface erosion control, further enhanced by the association between roots and the bio-mat.

Viresco Coco: ideal applications and contexts

It is suitable for:

slopes, even very steep ones, prone to surface detachment;
riverbanks;
irrigation and drainage channels;
lakes;
rivers;
road and railway embankments.

Easy and quick to lay, it requires no skilled labor or special technical equipments. Made entirely of natural fibers, it has an excellent ability to retain moisture and make the best use of available water.

It is also an effective protection against birds and insects.
In subtle green and brown colors, it immediately enhances the visual impact of the surface to be greened.
