Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
GeoMods Standard Double Net Erosion Control Blankets are highly effective in British Columbia's diverse terrain, making them ideal for use in various projects across the province. Its excellent water absorption properties of 207% make it suitable for slope protection and disturbed area stabilization in BC's rain-soaked regions.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Highway 1 expansion project
Project 2
Elk Valley Coal Mine
Climate Considerations
The product is designed to withstand BC's wide temperature range of -40°C to +30°C, ensuring effective erosion control during both the cold winter months and the warm summer months. Its light penetration ground cover of 18.40% allows for vegetation growth even in shady environments.
Industry Applications
Mining
Used in the Elk Valley Coal Mine for slope stabilization and channel protection to prevent erosion and sediment runoff.
Transportation
Used in the Highway 1 expansion project for embankment protection against erosion, particularly during heavy rainfalls.
Environmental
Used in various disturbed area stabilization projects in BC's forests to promote growth of native vegetation and prevent soil erosion.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, GeoMods Standard Double Net Erosion Control Blankets are utilized extensively in oil & gas, mining, and transportation projects. Given the province's dry climate and the product's high mass per unit area of 323 g/m², it provides excellent erosion control in Alberta's sandy soil conditions.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Athabasca Oil Sands project
Project 2
Alberta Highway 63 construction
Climate Considerations
Alberta's cold winters and hot summers are no match for this product. It retains its structural integrity from -40°C to +30°C, maintaining performance irrespective of the season. During the spring breakup, the product helps stabilize thawing ground and prevent erosion.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
Used in the Athabasca Oil Sands project for stabilizing the soil, reducing erosion and sediment runoff into surrounding water bodies.
Mining
In mining operations, the product is used to stabilize tailings dams and other disturbed areas, reducing environmental impact.
Transportation
For the construction of Alberta Highway 63, the product was used to stabilize embankments and prevent erosion, particularly in areas of heavy traffic.
