EROSION CONTROL

Almost 45% of all soil in Queensland has some sodic properties. Sodic soil is the term given to soil that holds sodium – a cation (a positive ion) – that is held loosely on clay particles in the soil.

High sodicity in soil causes clay to swell when it’s wet, and the clay particles move so far apart that they disperse. This, in turn, weakens the aggregate in the soil, causing collapses, and closing off soil pores. When this happens, water and air movement in sodic soils is severely limited and causes structural issues.
Sodic soils are particularly vulnerable to most forms of soil erosion and can affect the infrastructure of roads. Soil stabilisation is a vital component of successful road construction, and considering bitumen and concrete produce a lot of runoff, necessary steps need to be taken with stabilising the soil in road construction.
In mining and exploration activities, the natural drainage of the land is interfered with as roads are built and digs undertaken. Disturbing the soil can cause environmental issues like erosion and silting of waterways. Mining exploration requires the development of hundreds of kilometres of roads and tracks, and because of this, soil stability and erosion prevention is a vital component of ensuring environmentally safe mining works.

Our advanced technology is a substitute to the traditional processes of sodding, broadcasting or sowing dry seed. AGB erosion control is a planting method where a specialized pump sprays a mixture of mulch, seed, fertilizer and tackifer over soil that has been prepared.

AGB vegetation technology has been tested in extreme weather conditions to validate our claim as an effective and green solution. Whether this planting season is drought or monsoon, AGB erosion control technologies is the best choice due to its ability to retain water and prevent soil erosion.

Moisture Retention

The mulch fibers that are incorporated into a mix have the capacity to retain up to ten times their weight in water; keeping the seeds moist. This feature is advantageous when planting during the times of low natural moisture.

Soil Retention

AGB vegetation technology is often used as a method to control erosion. The mulch and tackifier in a hydroseed slurry help prevent wind, water and slope erosion control. The flexibility of relevant equipments to get into tight and steep places makes seeding slopes much less labor intensive than other alternatives, including dry seeding.
