Claims12
An erosion control system for preventing erosion of embankments comprising a three-dimensional textile material, the three-dimensional textile material comprising void volumes, and a mixture comprising a particulate material having a particle size in the range of 0.5 to 15 mm and a binder material comprised in the void volumes, wherein the erosion control system has a weight in the range of 5 kg/m2 to 50 kg/m2, wherein the binder material comprises a lignin-based binder material.
A process for manufacturing an erosion control system for preventing erosion of embankments comprising the steps of supplying a three-dimensional textile material, the three-dimensional textile material comprising void volumes, supplying a mixture comprising a particulate material having a particle size in the range of 0.5 to 15 mm and a lignin-based binder material, and introducing the mixture into the void volumes of the three-dimensional textile material to provide an erosion control system having a weight in the range of 5 kg/m2 to 50 kg/m2.
