Conwed’s netting made with Ecocycle Technology offers the first totally degradable bottom plastic net in an erosion control blanket. The netting is programmed to degrade without UV light at the end of the life of the product. The benefits that end users will receive from Ecocycle Technology is that this new netting will offer better performance in wildlife entrapment issues, trip hazards, mechanical entanglement, and the long-term residual effects, such as aesthetics.

FINN
Finn HydroSeeders use hydraulically driven, mechanical-paddle agitation and liquid recirculation across the entire line to enhance the loading, mixing, and discharge operation. The new Titan HydroSeeder is ideal for erosion control contractors who focus on larger hydroseeding projects. Its 2,800-, 3,300-, or 4,000-gallon capacity tank, 170-horsepower Cummins engine, and pump speed make this machine unbeatable for steep slopes, extremely large coverage areas, or projects where maximum speed of mixing and discharge or long discharge distances are required. For small- to medium-sized projects, Finn also offers HydroSeeders with capacities starting at 300 gallons.

STORMKLEAR
New StormKlear Liqui Floc treats suspended sediment in construction stormwater and was formulated specifically to treat sediment that will not settle out by gravity alone. Liqui Floc uses a proprietary chitosan formula to coagulate suspended particles when added to untreated stormwater, neutralizing the negative static electrical charge on soil particles and reducing turbidity and phosphorous levels by greater than 90% when used with high-volume efficiency filtration. The product is biodegradable, 100% PAM-free, environmentally friendly, and approved by many government agencies. Liqui Floc even has Conditional Use Level Designation (CULD) with the Washington State Department of Ecology.

FIBER MARKETING INTERNATIONAL
Rainier Fiber is a 100% wood-fiber mulch made for use in hydraulic planting. The mulch is made from clean, fresh-cut Western softwood chips. The fibers are separated by a thermo-mechanical process using high-temperature steam and a rubbing action through a defibrator. The combination of clean wood chips and heat produces the best sterile and toxic-free mulch for germination and growth of seed, stolons, and sprigs.

TENCATE GEOSYNTHETICS
Miramesh SG combines Miramesh GR biaxial geosynthetic with synthetic grass green fibers to produce a finished grass face without the need for vegetation. The synthetic grass fibers provide an extra layer of UV protection, increasing the long-term resistance. Miramesh SG eliminates the need for topsoil infill by immediately creating a finished vegetated face. Miramesh provides surface erosion protection and secondary reinforcement. The erosion protection facilitates establishment of vegetation and provides structural support for the forming of over-steepened slopes.

EWING
Ewing’s Hydro-Blanket BFM provides better protection, greatest coverage, quickest installation, and lowest overall cost than competitive BFMs, blankets, and sod. With a combination of thermally refined wood fibers and multi-dimensional tackifiers, this environmentally safe product has been proved to control erosion more effectively on steep slopes subjected to heavy rains and is able to hold a greater capacity of water for quicker germination and vegetation.

IECS
IECS recently completed a 74,112-square-foot project for a unique landfill perimeter channel at the Indian River Generating Station in Sussex County, DE. Cable concrete was chosen for ease of installation. IECS is the only manufacturer that attaches Geo Textile to the ACB mats. By producing onsite, the client saved thousands on transportation costs. The coal landfill site will be protected from erosion pressures for years to come.
