LITE-NET slope

Water reservoir for embankment

For slopes, the 100% biodegradable LITE-NET Bio1 (approx. 1-2 years) or Bio5 (approx. 5-10 years) is laid directly on the surface and ideally sprayed. It functions as a large-area water reservoir, whereby the meandering effect means that, in contrast to full-area mats, the water is stored in the net even on steeper slopes and is thus available to the plants at all times if required.

Material: Bio1: 100% Cellulose fibres biodegradable | Bio5: 70% PLA (Polylactide) + 30% cellulose fibres.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Stores water directly by the plants
  • Roots can grow through mesh openings
  • Erosion reduction
  • Extended watering intervals
  • Can be easily cut to size
  • Simple installation
  • Optimal supply of the plants

Description

According to research conducted by the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, a LITE-NET can store 6 times the amount of water in the long term compared to a coir net. This leads to a 50 % higher greening effect. In addition, erosion is reduced. Due to the flexible net shape, the LITE-NET fits very well to the surface, which is why it requires little fastening and is storm-proof.

The large-scale slope nets have an opening width of approx. 9 cm (C14) and a thickness of approx. 6 mm, Bio1 is also available in 4 mm.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SLOPES: Place the LITE-NET pulled apart and add soil over it to root depth (approx. 10 cm for lawns). Ideally mixed with LITE-STRIPS. For start-up revegetation, the 100% biodegradable LITE-NET variants Bio1 or Bio5 are simply laid out on the slope surface, fastened and ideally covered by hydroseeding

The water reservoir for embankment LITE-NET is ideally suited for embankment greening and as erosion protection. For the vegetation phase they are laid above ground, for permanent use they are laid underground.

100% BIODEGRADABLE

The extremely flexible nonwoven nets adapt perfectly to the subsoil, thereby forming a stable micro relief parallel to the slope and thus reducing erosion. Due to the good interlocking, the LITE-NET requires little fastening. In addition, the net shape is storm-proof, unlike full-surface mats. On steeper slopes, the water storage nets can easily be secured with standard ground hooks.
Also due to the meander effect, the water storage capacity is additionally increased compared to full-surface mats, since water cannot run off in a fall line. Plant growth is promoted by direct light penetration and additional plants can be easily inserted in the net gaps.
