General Information

GeoLog coconut fiber logs are comprised of 100% biodegradable coir fiber tightly bound by a coir yarn netting which maintains its density & shields the structure against mechanical & hydraulic stresses.

Applications 

GeoLogs are deal for riverbank scour protection, silt entrapment, wave dissipation, runoff & stream diversion, spill containment as well as aquatic/wetland plant protection & buttressing on revegetation projects.

Features and Benefits 

• Strength. GeoLogs are durable & remain structurally sound throughout the natural life of the system. GeoLogs withstand wave energies which often require ‘hard armour’ solutions.
• Filtration. Rather than providing an impermeable barrier, GeoLogs allow water transmission whilst trapping sediment, reducing turbidity in the main water body.
• Environmental. GeoLogs are made from natural fibres which degrade over time whilst encouraging natural revegetation for long term security & protection. GeoLogs systems do not require bulk earthworks or invasive site preparation prior to or during installation.
• Construction. GeoLogs are extremely easy & quick to install. Timber stakes driven adjacent to the units secure them in place. Feel free to consult our staff for advice on installation for each individual project.
• Cost effective. GeoLogs are significantly less expensive than retaining walls or rip rap protection. GeoLog installation does not require specialist labour or equipment & can be installed by a small inexperienced crew.
