Coir Wattles for Erosion Control
A Superior Sediment Filtration Solution by GEI Works
GEI Works' coir wattles are a 100% biodegradable product 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, however, they are less desnsely packed, which allows them to filter out sediment as water flows through them. This 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.
