Slope stabilization

Application of Soil Lynx powder to a raw slope creates a layer of porous soil bonded together by fibres of polymer. This allows water to seep through as well as run over the surface without eroding the slope. This provides optimal growing conditions for vegetation. When used on areas of high flow or on steep slopes, erosion BMP such as soft armouring must be implemented (using jute, coir, coconut or other natural blankets). The polymer “glues” the soil and natural fibre blanket together while the blanket supports the weight of the slope and shields from high velocity water flow.

APPLICATION

Gentle to Moderate slopes
Sprinkle powder over area by hand or by other broadcasting device

Steep slopes
Lay down jute material (or suitable natural blanket material) sprinkle powder over area as with gentle slopes

Also possible broadcasting method is to mix with water or into hydroseed mix and spray onto area.

BENEFITS

• Encourages vegetation establishment - holds seed and nutrients in place
• Easy installation
• Environmentally friendly
• Treats source of sediment
• Cost effective
• Low maintenance
• Easy cleanup (none when using biodegradable materials)
