Coir Logs / Rolls by Aussie Environmental

Coir logs, also known as coir rolls, coconut fibre rolls or coco logs, are tubes filled with loose, but densely packed coconut fibre which is then wrapped with coir netting. Coir logs are light-weight and easy to install – ideal for constructing check structures, establishing vegetation, managing changes in stream flow velocity, shaping channels and stabilising shorelines.

Coir Logs are 100% biodegradable, can blend into their surroundings and over time provide habitat for animals and plants. They are flexible so they can curve around river banks and existing vegetation beds. Coir logs can be used in open drains to slow water velocity and capture sediments or be used in streams and rivers to produce a natural wall of protection for plants and soil.

Ecoscape Solutions provides tailored advice to help you know what’s best for your worksite. To enquire about Coir Logs / Rolls give us a call on 1800 326 722 or click the button below.

Our Valued Clients Include:

Soil Installation With Difficult Site Access

With extremely difficult access to this site, wheelbarrows were not an option. There was no room to stockpile or dump product on-site, so the job was completed from the blower truck parked off-site.

The blower truck allowed for fast installation, with the job completed in half a day, where manual labour would have taken many days. In addition to a quick turnaround, the blower truck reduced the need for heavy manual labour and repetitive lifting, making it safer for everyone involved.

Bio Filters & Retention Basins

Ecoscape Solutions are regularly engaged to help backfill biofilters and retention basins. Using our slinger truck and conveyor system we can install bulk amounts of a range of product in very little time.

Slinger backfilling bio filter

Using our slinger operation not only minimises the risk of the filter failing by limiting compaction, it saves you, the client, a lot of time and money. These images show a basin being filled with various grade gravel. In 2 days over 500m3 were evenly distributed across this large space.

Creek Diversion Channel

Borgs Manufacturing in Oberon constructed a creek diversion channel which required significant stabilisation and an effective regrowth solution. The channel consisted of a steep hard packed clay surface with zero topsoil on the batter. Ecoscape were engaged at the height of the 2019 drought.

Ecoscape recommended a 4-part solution:

  1. Prescripted ameliorants used to balance deficiencies and support growth
  2. Proganics applied at 5t/ha coverage to increase organic matter
  3. Flexterra applied at 5t/ha for maximum stabilisation and longevity during drought
  4. Seed mix involved a cover crop of millet as well as some cool season pasture species suited to the cold climate of Oberon

For the first 3 months the cover crop didn’t establish due to zero rain after application, however when heavy storms came in Feb/March 2020 the cool season species germinated and established quickly with a thick healthy vegetation cover achieved within 6 months.

Nashdale Rail Bridge Abutment

Our client had to remove an old railway overpass bridge. Upon their completion the site was left with extreme batters that were bare of vegetation and had a high risk of erosion.

Ecoscape was engaged to stabilise the area. Due to the extreme near vertical face the only option we were comfortable to use was Flexterra – a High performing Flexible Growth medium. One section of batter had a higher chance of erosion due to overland flow, it was decided to use a TRM infilled with Flexterra for this section. This method of stabilisation is called “Green Armour”. It allows for a “green” solution rather than a Hard armour such as gabion or shotcrete.

Flexterra application on rail bridge abatement

Our staff are trained in working safely at heights and rope access, which was required to install the TRM and spray the Flexterra and achieve correct coverage. Some nice soaking rain was experienced in the days following installation, vegetation established quite quickly considering the harsh Orange winter and difficult access.

Zero sediment was lost and more importantly the batters are now stable and sustaining the vegetation used.

Kids Playgrounds

Certified Soft Fall

Ecoscape Solutions is the “go to” for many councils around NSW when it comes to the supply and installation of softfall for kids playground surfaces. Ecoscape Solutions can supply and install certified Softfall in a fraction of the time that manual labour can install. Some playgrounds require 100’s of cubic meters, which Ecoscape can install in less than a day.

Softfall bark complies with all requirements for product certification under AS/NZS 4422; 1996. Softfall is clean from contaminants and ‘white wood’, making it safe for use in all play areas.

Mine Site Rehabilitation Trials

A re-aligned creek bed at a Hunter Valley mine site provided headaches when it came to revegetation & erosion control. Working with both our client and environmental consultants, Landloch, Ecoscape conducted a trial for each issue with 3 separate treatments to establish the most suitable long term solution.

Our Protect trial consisted of Enviromatrix ECM, ProMatrix and a Compost Blanket while our Grow trial involved use of a Biotic Soil Media, Compost Blanket and a high performance soil mulch/topsoil. Ongoing monitoring of site conditions & improvements continues.

St Peters M8 Interchange

A monumental engineering feat, the new M8 Interchange roadworks at St Peters needed a ground remediation solution that made the entire site look great again. Due to the various crossroads at different levels, access was extremely limited.

M8 Interchange Rockslinger

Using our Slinger truck and Bark Blower, working in tandem in some cases to expediate material installation, Ecoscape were able to supply & install over 5,000m3 soils & mulches achieving a 300mm soil & mulch bed across the entire area ready for plant life to return saving our client significant money and ensuring they could meet their handover deadline.

Cullen Bullen Landfill Site Regeneration

Ecoscape were engaged by Lithgow City Council to stabilise and revegetate the recently closed Cullen Bullen Landfill Facility on the Castlereagh Highway, Cullen Bullen. As part of the closure plan, the site had to be topsoiled and hydromulched. Ecoscape Solutions developed a solution applying ProGanics Biotic Soil Media at a rate of 5000kg/ha to provide a topsoil alternative, locally sourced native grass seed mix, and then locked the site down using ProMatrix Engineered Fibre Matrix applied at up to 4000kg/ha.

Cullen Bullen Landfill Site Before

The 2 hectare site is now protected from erosion for up to 12 months, and valuable organic material has added to the sandstone profile to provide the ideal substrate for establishing persistent groundcover.

Orange Regional Museum Green Roof

Our client had designed a unique green roof concept for the new Orange Visitor Information Centre. The roof design involved a steep sloping section from ground level up to a large flat open rooftop area which allowed general public to access and enjoy 24/7. The deadline for the centre to be opened and therefore the roof to be grassed was extremely tight. The slope of part of the roof was extreme which made the choice of soil type extremely important. Access for Ecoscape to fill the Geocell was also limited.

Geocell filling using a Bark Blower

Ecoscape worked with Sydney Environmental & Soil Laboratory (SESL) to create a specialist growing media which was lightweight enough to blow into the Geocell and which would sustain healthy & quick grass growth. A total of 410m3 of media was installed in one day. The Museum & Visitors Centre was opened on time with a green roof and has since gone on to win multiple awards.

CERTIFIED SOFT FALL

Soft Fall or Playsafe Certified Pine Bark is a soft round pine bark that is specially developed for playground surfacing. This bark complies with all requirements for product certification under AS/NZS 4422; 1996. Soft Fall is clean from contaminants and ‘white wood’, making it safe for use in all play areas.

Ecoscape Solutions recommends applying Soft Fall Bark at a minimum depth of between 200 and 300mm when using for a play area. Playsafe surfacing must be monitored and maintained to provide a safe play environment.
