Hydromulching Canberra

Soil Stabilisation In Canberra Through Hydromulching

Soil stabilisation is a critical process for the structural integrity of various projects, such as roads and other construction sites. To effectively stabilise soils, it is necessary to use efficient methods. One of these methods is hydromulching, which involves using a slurry of biodegradable mulch and water to reinforce the soil surface.

The hydromulching process applies an even slurry layer over the soil surface. The mulch then binds with the existing soil particles, creating an even matrix that helps keep loose materials in place. This type of stabilisation prevents settlement or erosion and can increase load-bearing capacity.

It also helps reduce dust formation on exposed soils, which improves visibility in areas with low levels of vegetation.

Hydromulching has become increasingly popular over the past few years as it offers cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for many soil problems. This method is also relatively fast and easy to complete compared to other forms of soil stabilisation, such as geotextiles or asphalt paving.

To successfully meet these challenges head-on while attempting to use hydromulching for soil stabilisation projects, all involved personnel must take proper precautions before beginning work onsite. It is vital to carefully assess the underlying soils and patterns and consider all potential environmental hazards to implement appropriate countermeasures. Therefore, it is important to work with people who efficiently apply the solution and guarantee its effectiveness.

The Best Hydromulching Solution For Canberra

Erizon offers two types of hydromulching solutions, each appropriate to certain weather conditions, terrains, and soils in Canberra. Both solutions provide superior erosion control with high water retention and soil enhancement features.

Hydromulching HGM

HGM stands for Hydraulic Growth Medium. Erizon’s EnviroSprout HGM works by holding moisture longer than conventional methods. As a result, it can encourage and support faster vegetative growth. The HGM also has erosion control features where the plants are still germinating, the HGM can act as a temporary erosion control blanket.

Erizon recommends this HGM solution for areas with uneven surfaces and rough seedbeds. It is also suitable for all climate types.

Hydromulching BFM

In regions where the slope is steep, and the amount of rainfall is high, we recommend our EnviroLoc BFM solution.

BFM, or Bonded Fibre Matrix, involves a two-step application process. The first step requires applying water, seed, and amelioration to the surface, ensuring sufficient seed-to-soil contact.

The second step involves spraying cellulose mulch, proprietary binders, and tackifiers into the soil. What forms, as a result, is a protective skin over the soil’s surface, acting much like an erosion control blanket that stays on for six months to a year. Additionally, our BFM can suppress weeds, thus ensuring more efficient plant growth.
