Watercourses & aquatic engineering

A whole range of Greenfix products are used extensively for revetment protection, vegetation establishment and enhancement and watercourse reconstruction works.

Bio-rolls and Bio-pallets

Greenfix Bio-rolls and Bio-pallets installed alongside vulnerable streams, rivers or other watercourses provide a botanical solution to protect against scour erosion whilst allowing water marginal plants to develop longer term natural protection and rapidly increase the diversity of flora and fauna to the area.

   

• Bio-rolls and Bio-pallets are manufactured from 100% coir fibres
• Supplied pre-established with native species marginal plants with a mix or one specific species or grown to order
• Supplied unplanted with 6 planting holes per linear metre. Local indigenous aquatic plug plants can be supplied separately for on site planting as necessary.
• Bio-rolls can be supplied in a variety of diameters with 300mm being the standard size. Rolls can be stacked to provide greater protection against fluctuating water levels.
• Bio-rolls can be supplied in a variety of diameters from 200mm to 500mm with 300mm being the standard and lengths from 3.0m - 6.0m. Rolls can be stacked.

Willow revetments

Willow provides an excellent alternative to traditional hard landscaping or engineered solutions where rock and concrete are being considered.

Willow is a biomass crop and cuttings can be used for other repairs etc. Willow can enrich a rivers habitat and is suitable for a wide range of projects including SSSI and conservation sites.
