The pre-sown soil erosion matting simplifies the turf grass creation and guarantees an effective erosion control in a very short period.
Discover the advantages of VIRESCO compared with the traditional grass covering and soil erosion prevention systems.
Advantages of Viresco compared with hydroseeding
HYDROSEEDING |
VIRESCO |
|
Surface stabilisation function |
After the grass turf development |
At the time when the biotextile is laid down |
External agents action (extreme rains and massive irrigations) |
It can compromise the implementation positive outcome |
It can resist to any atmospheric event without losing the seeds |
Applications in places difficult to reach |
The use of hose extensions or mobile platforms is required |
Light and easy to carry anywhere |
Laying method |
It requires specialised manpower |
Anyone can do it in an easy and fast way |
Small areas implementations |
Too expensive |
Always suitable and affordable |
Attacks by birds and insects |
In several conditions (e.g. landfills) they can eat the seeds |
The seeds are well protected and remain longer in the biotextile weft |
Chemical or physical residues |
It requires the application of glues and chemical products |
Fully biodegradable |
Implementations on very steep surfaces |
Hydromulching is necessary and/or at least two applications |
No additional features required. Lower implementation costs |
Visual impact |
You need to wait for the grass growth or you can use additional aesthetic products |
The biotextile comes in green colour so improves immediately the surface to be covered |
Erosion control on very steep slopes |
It should be coupled with a mat, usually an erosion control jute net |
Using just a single product cuts the costs
|
Advantages of Viresco compared with traditional blankets
TRADITIONAL MATS |
VIRESCO |
|
Carriage methods |
Thick, stiff and heavy |
Light and easy to carry |
Laying method |
They must be fastened to the soil with several strong anchoring means |
It needs just watering or a small amount of pegs |
Handling stage |
The seeds tend to move or leak |
It keeps seeds and fertilizers firmly in place in every situation |
Surface run-offs and scouring events |
Erosion due to the formation of underlying cavities, because of the stiffness and high thickness |
Harmless thanks to the power of Viresco to adhere firmly to the ground as a protective film |
The plants can put down roots and grow uniformly |
This is often obstructed by the mats high thickness |
Viresco guarantees an excellent cover uniformity |
Soil Sowing |
It is necessary to provide for the sowing on the soil below, before the installation, or above the blanket after the installation, or perform an hydro-seeding. |
Everything happens in a single operational phase, with great efficiency and lower costs |
