Advantages

• 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 over soil lifts with woven coir fabric
• 5"-9" thick fiber blocks protects the soils lifts for many years (over 6 years). While woven coir fabric will only protect soil lifts for 2-4 years.
• BioD-Block is made to have the machine direction tensile strength as the primary support for the soil lifts. Whereas, regular soil wraps are constructed using the cross direction tensile strength of the woven coir fabric as the primary support for the soil lifts. In general the machine direction tensile strength of woven coir fabric is at least 50% greater than the cross direction tensile strength.
