Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
The GEOMODS STRAW WATTLES is a superior erosion control product designed to reduce soil erosion and sediment runoff in British Columbia's diverse landscapes. Its organic straw composition makes it an environmentally friendly solution for stabilizing slopes and controlling water flow.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Trans-Canada Highway Erosion Control
Project 2
Kitsault Mine Site Rehabilitation
Climate Considerations
The product performs exceedingly well in BC's climate, which ranges from -20°C to +30°C. The straw wattles retain their integrity during heavy rainfall and snow seasons, providing effective erosion control.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's mining industry, the straw wattles are used for controlling sediment runoff in tailings ponds and disturbed land. They also promote the establishment of vegetation on reclaimed land.
Transportation
Along BC's extensive network of mountain highways, the straw wattles are used to stabilize slopes and prevent soil erosion, thus enhancing road safety.
Environmental
Straw wattles are employed in environmental projects like stream restoration and habitat improvement, where they slow water flow and encourage sediment deposition.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, the GEOMODS STRAW WATTLES are essential for erosion control in oil & gas, mining and transportation projects. They provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly erosion control, reducing sediment transport and promoting the establishment of native vegetation.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Erosion Control
Project 2
Highway 63 Slope Stabilization
Climate Considerations
Despite the extreme weather fluctuations in Alberta, ranging from -40°C to +30°C, the straw wattles maintain their structural integrity. They effectively control erosion during snowmelt and heavy summer rains.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In Alberta's oil sands, the straw wattles are used to control erosion and sedimentation in tailings ponds. This helps in reducing the environmental impact of oil extraction operations.
Mining
In mining sites, straw wattles are employed for stabilization of open pit walls and tailings management, thereby preventing landslides and improving site safety.
Transportation
The straw wattles are extensively used for slope stabilization and erosion control along Alberta's highway networks, particularly in areas prone to landslides.
