BioD-Block is a versatile fabric attached coir fiber block system for slope stabilization, streambank and shoreline restoration and stream relocations. Improves the Performance of Fabric Encapsulated Soil Lift Techniques! It is an excellent tool for for easy construction of vegetated soil lifts.
BioD-Block™ is a coir fiber block system consisting of a densely packed elongated mattress coir fiber block attached to a bristle coir woven fabric. Coir fabric is tightly wrapped around two block sizes; 12-in tall, 5-in thick block and 16-in tall, 9-in thick. Both block sizes come in 10-ft long coir blocks. The fabric is connected to the coir block on three sides leaving the other side open to fill with dirt. Each coir block has a female and a male end. These male and female ends in BioD-Block™ create a strong and easy-to-handle connection, providing an excellent face to the soil layers. Request a quote.

Applications of BioD-Block system
Slopes
Streambanks
Stream relocation
- Provides much longer protection to soil wraps from the thick coir fiber block compared to soil wraps with fabrics only.
- The coir block in the system provides constant layer heights and makes construction of fabric wrapped soil layers easier.
- The male-female ends in the coir block system provide strong continuous sections, while maintaining its structural integrity.
- Provides better support to soil behind the rectangular block and more contact area at the bottom.
- In most situations, no inner fabric is required when soil wraps are done with the coir block system, reducing cost.
- Reduces valuable installation time, reduces overall project cost, and provides superior and worry-free designs/ finished products.
