Making Inroads into Road Construction
The
first thing when we hear about coir comes to our mind is traditional items like
mats, baskets and ropes, but it is not the case anymore.
With
the changing times and growing charm for eco-friendly products, the golden
fibre is finding new applications and is also being preferred in road construction.
With
increasing deforestation affecting the environment, the biodegradable
geotextiles is being used in the construction of roads.
The
major reasons for increased use of the natural fibre are sustainability and
cost effectiveness.
Coir
(coconut fiber) geotextiles are a popular solution for erosion control, slope
stabilisation and bioengineering, due to the fabric’s substantial mechanical
strength.
