| It was developed as an alternative to gabions and other mesh systems to cater for projects where the final appearance of the finished vegetated wall may not be as critical and cost is paramount.
The Econ Soil Panel consists of a choice of erosion control of vegetation mats sandwiched between a layer of Alu-Zinc coated welded mesh panel on the inside and PVC coated rock netting on the outside. The Rock netting completely wraps around the whole panel and extends into the backfill to form the soil reinforcement as well. The Alu-Zinc coating of the welded mesh and the PVC coating on the galvanised rock netting ensures that our system will be there for a long time.
The Panel is backfilled with top soil just behind the face, and completed frictional fill in the structural zone. Vegetation can be introduced by planting seeds added into the top soil, pre-seeded vegetation mats or hydroseeding.
