Coir logs are excellent products to facilitate slope stabilization and have a myriad of other applications. From restoring marshes and beaches to reinforcing banks and controlling erosion along shorelines, they are effective in many situations. Learning about how they work can help you determine if they are the right solution for your project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Product Construction<\/span><\/h2>\n

Coir logs are made of 100% coir fibers that are rolled into a tube and wrapped in netting. They provide immediate structure and stability to slopes and banks and then allow nature to take over. Construction workers dig a trench, place the logs within it, and stake the logs down into the soil. Their design allows them to integrate into the soil by promoting vegetative growth through the log. With vegetation growing through the logs, the slope becomes substantially more secure. They hold in moisture so strong roots can develop and reinforce the slope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the organic material and the netting are biodegradable, so coir logs can be installed permanently without the worry of harming the environment. Coir twine allows multiple logs to connect together, allowing installation along any distance. Finally, it\u2019s worth mentioning that although constructed of biodegradable materials, they are very strong and durable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Coir Logs<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are different variations of coir logs, each with its own benefits and applications. There are standard density coir logs and high density. The high-density variations are wrapped in rhombic coir netting and are packed with more coir than the standard density variation. These are suitable for areas with harsh terrains, heavy water flow, and other heavy environmental conditions. They also last longer than standard density options. Then there is the pre-drilled variation. Pre-drilled coir logs have slots drilled into the logs which can be used to plant seeds or connect multiple logs together with ease. These are great for situations where quick deployment over a large area is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Common Issues<\/span><\/h2>\n

Coir logs are excellent products when installed correctly. However improper installation can result in a few common issues. For example, when installed on a slope that is sliding, slumping or creeping, the logs will not work as intended. If they are staked down improperly, heavy water flows can lift them right out of the ground. If they are installed without digging a trench first, stormwater runoff can flow underneath and cause failure. Another common issue occurs when installing multiple coir logs end to end without overlapping them. Water will flow between the logs, reducing their efficacy in slope stabilization and sediment control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
