Abstract
Disclosed herein are exemplary embodiments of sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices (e.g., erosion control blankets, nets, meshes, geowebs, geonets, wattles, other geotextiles, etc.) made from fibrillated and/or perforated materials. Also disclosed herein are exemplary methods and systems for producing sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices (e.g., erosion control blankets, nets, meshes, geowebs, geonets, wattles, other geotextiles, etc.) by fibrillating and/or perforating materials.
Claims23
A sediment, erosion, or perimeter control device comprising a fibrillated and/or perforated material that defines a water-permeable structure configured to trap or retain soil, facilitate water drainage, and promote vegetation growth.
A method of manufacturing a sediment, erosion, or perimeter control device, the method comprising fibrillating and/or perforating a paper, sheet, fabric, film, or cellulose-based material to form a network of interconnected strands providing a water-permeable structure suitable for use as a standalone geotextile or a component of a control device.
