Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
Geo Mods Coir Wrap is a versatile erosion control solution ideal for the diverse construction and environmental landscapes of British Columbia. From mountain highways to mining operations, this product offers excellent soil stabilization, helping to prevent erosion and maintain structural integrity.
Notable Projects
Project 1
The Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion
Project 2
The Elk Valley Coal Mine stabilization project
Climate Considerations
The coir wrap performs well in British Columbia's temperate rainforest climate, showing resistance against heavy rainfall and sudden temperature changes. Its functional longevity of 4-6 years ensures long-term erosion control even in the province's harsh winters.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's extensive mining industry, the coir wrap is used for slope stabilization and to prevent soil displacement during excavation.
Transportation
The coir wrap is used extensively in highway construction and maintenance, particularly in mountainous regions, to stabilize embankments and prevent landslides.
Environmental
In environmental restoration projects, the coir wrap aids in the establishment of vegetation on slopes and in areas of soil disturbance.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, the Geo Mods Coir Wrap is a vital tool in both the oil & gas and mining industries, providing reliable erosion control in the province's vast plains and rugged northern landscapes. The product offers significant benefits in soil lifts and slope stabilization applications.
Notable Projects
Project 1
The Fort McMurray Oil Sands project
Project 2
The High Prairie Wind Farm construction
Climate Considerations
In Alberta's harsh, subarctic climate, the coir wrap demonstrates durability and resilience, withstanding temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as +30°C. Its high puncture strength and shear stress capabilities ensure performance during winter construction and spring breakup periods.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In Alberta's oil sands projects, the coir wrap is used for soil stabilization during the construction of pipelines and infrastructure.
Mining
The product's high tensile strength makes it ideal for use in the mining industry, where it is applied in tailings ponds to prevent soil erosion and contamination.
Transportation
In transportation projects, the coir wrap is used for reinforcing highway embankments and slopes, particularly in areas of permafrost.
