Troncos de Fibra de Coco (Troncos de Agua/Bio-troncos)
Los Troncos de Fibra de Coco – Troncos de agua – Bio-troncos de CoirGreen están hechos de una red cilíndrica/redonda rellena de fibra de coco. Cada tronco consta de una red/alfombra de fibra de coco, rellena de fibra de coco de 7 a 9kg por metro lineal. El diámetro del tronco varía dependiendo de su requerimiento, usualmente es de 20cm, 30cm, 40cm y 50cm de diámetro, con 2 o 4 metros de longitud para los troncos cilíndricos.
Tras un período de tiempo, la fibra de coco, la cual es ecológica y biodegradable, se desintegra completamente dejando solo humus, el cual enriquece el suelo.
Uso de los troncos CG
- Stream bank stabilization
- Shoreline protection
- Wetland mitigation
- Channel edge liner
- Wildlife habitats
- Landscaping
Ventajas de los troncos CG
- Easy to install, 100% natural, eco-friendly and bio-degradable geotextile fabric
- Water absorbent coir coconut fiber acts as mulch on the surface and as a wick in the soil
- The excellent micro-climate coir provides establishment, natural invasion and balanced healthy growth.
- Coir jute matting / netting provides restoration of terrestrial and aquatic riparian habitat.
- Coir logs are an environmentally-friendly product
- Allows for deep rooting of plants while providing nutrients
- Customised to specific requirement for projects (Eg: 30cm X 2m with 7kg of coco fiber per LM….)
- Root strength provides superior shear stress protection
- Naturally resistant to mold & rot, hence needs no chemical treatment
- Native vegetation means robust growth and less maintenance
Aplicaciones
- Coir logs can easily be anchored with wooden stakes, spaced either 1, 3, or 4 feet apart, depending on the hydraulic sites condition.
- They are installed against the shoreline at the toe of the water-way.
- End of adjacent Waterlogs are tied together with coco coir twine.
- Plants are placed in the holes of the logs (on top of the log between the coir netting holding the logs together)
- Plants are usually pre-planted.
