Erosion Control Blankets

Benefits and features of RECPs

• Reduce run off.
• Consistent quality and performance.
• Retain more water than hydro mulch covers.
• Reduce sediment concentration and soil loss.
• Excellent performance in strength and durable under high velocities.
• Vegetation performs better with blankets than with hydro mulches.
• Ease of installation.

Application of RECPs

Erosion control blankets are used to prevent surface erosion and accelerate the establishment of vegetation. Typically, blankets are intended for the following applications:

• Slope protection.
• Channel and ditch linings.
• Reservoir embankments and spillways.
• Culvert inlets and outfalls.
• Dikes, levees and riverbanks.

How They Work

Erosion control blankets provide a mechanically stabilized form of immediate cover, functioning as a barrier against both the detachment and transportation phase of erosion process until vegetation or reinforced vegetation assume this function.
