Why is Erosion Control Important for Your Industry?

​No matter what industry you are in or project you are running, erosion control is vital to the well-being of the property and those individuals on site or nearby. Virtually any type of jobsite has the probability to have erosion-related issues. Erosion by definition is “the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.”. The effects of erosion can be detrimental to any site, resulting in safety, environmental and economic consequences. Sediment is one of the greatest pollutants by volume impacting our environment and is the product of uncontrolled erosion. ​

So, what industries are benefited from erosion control solutions? Really, every industry has a need for controlling erosion, but here is a brief list of some who tend to struggle greatly with erosion and dust:
 

• Construction Sites
• Airfields
• Oil and Gas
• Mining
• Historical Sites
• Golf Courses
• Landfills
• Energy
• Roads

 
One of the most imperative factors for a successful erosion control plan is the timeliness of its installation. In order to contain sediment on-site, the timing of an erosion control method must be coordinated at the on-set of the project. To reduce or eliminate the negative effects of erosion, turn to the experts at Environmental Products and Applications. No matter what industry you are in, our Envirotac line of polymers is suitable for all erosion issues. Our polymers have been used around the world in numerous different industries and for many different applications.
 
The Envirotac line of erosion control polymers protect slopes and embankments from erosion. Envirotac, being an acrylic polymer, will penetrate the earth soil and upon curing will bond the soil particles together. This will seal the area keeping the soil sediment in place. It is also environmentally friendly and will not harm any surrounding vegetation or animal life.
 
The bottom line it that taking the extra time to implement erosion control methods on the jobsite protects the environment and makes for safer conditions for all those involved. Additionally, you will save both time and money by addressing these concerns immediately.
 
Environmental Products and Applications is proud to provide a number of products to help protect and prevent erosion problems. Learn more and let us help provide you with a cost-effective solution to maintain erosion control for many years to come.
