Coir Wattles
Coir Products Sediment Filtration and Erosion Control
GEI Works' coir wattles are 100% biodegradable products commonly used for stormwater filtration and silt and erosion control around construction sites. Packed with coir fibers throughout the erosion control wattle, these units allow water to pass through while sediment, silt and other harmful materials are removed.
Coir wattles visibly resemble coir logs, but they are less densely packed, allowing them to filter out sediment as water flows through them. The design makes it an ideal solution for projects looking to reduce water flow, protect construction sites from storm runoff, and restore environmentally-sensitive areas prone to erosion.

High-Strength Coir Wattles
In addition to our standard coir wattles, GEI Works also offers high-strength erosion control wattles, with an added filter apron for stronger sediment filtration. The apron allows for water to continue filtering through, but also provides extended filtration efforts for optimal erosion control.
