Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
The Geomods Bio Wattles is a versatile and efficient erosion control product used extensively throughout British Columbia. It's used for erosion control in channels and slopes, specifically in areas with heavy rainfall and steep terrain common in BC.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fraser River Channel Erosion Control
Project 2
Highway 99 Slope Stabilization
Climate Considerations
With a functional longevity of 1-2 years, the Bio Wattles can withstand BC's varied climate conditions, from heavy rainfall in coastal areas to dry summers in the interior. The product is designed to handle temperatures as low as -40°C to as high as +30°C, making it suitable for year-round installation.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's mining industry, the Bio Wattles are used to reduce erosion around mine sites, particularly in tailing ponds and waste dumps.
Transportation
For transportation projects, the Bio Wattles are employed for slope stabilization along highways, especially in mountainous areas where landslides are a risk.
Environmental
Environmental applications include use in reforestation projects to prevent soil erosion and promote the establishment of new vegetation.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, the Geomods Bio Wattles is a trusted solution for erosion control, particularly in the oil and gas industry. Its durability and efficiency make it ideal for Alberta's diverse landscapes and harsh climate.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Erosion Control
Project 2
Edmonton LRT Expansion
Climate Considerations
With Alberta's extreme temperature fluctuations, the Bio Wattles are designed to withstand conditions from -40°C to +30°C. The 1-2 year functional longevity allows it to manage erosion control during Alberta's intense spring runoff and winter snowfall.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In the oil and gas sector, the Bio Wattles are used to manage erosion at drilling sites and around oil sands operations, helping to protect Alberta's natural landscapes.
Mining
In mining, it's used for erosion control in tailings ponds and around extraction sites.
Transportation
Transportation projects use Bio Wattles for road stabilization, particularly during the construction of highways and rail lines.
