Understanding EcoArmour
EcoArmour is an innovative solution for erosion control, functioning as a synthetic blanket that can be applied hydraulically. This product has the unique ability to adhere to any substrate within a few hours of application. The result is a high-quality, efficient method for controlling erosion, capable of stabilising a wide variety of surfaces.
Weather Proof
EcoArmour’s non-flammable crust holds the substrate underneath in place, eliminating erosion caused by rain and wind.
Strength with Immediate Erosion Control
EcoArmour forms a hydrophobic fibre matrix to allow for strength, providing immediate erosion control.
Minimal Preparation
EcoArmour has the ability to blanket rough and uneven surfaces.
Fast and Safe Application
Multiple application methods to ensure safe and efficient access for installation.
Set and Forget
No maintenance is required once EcoArmour is installed, and it lasts in excess of 20 years.
Colour Matching
A colouring agent can be added to achieve a tailored colour upon application.
EcoArmour Benefits
Australian designed and manufactured, EcoArmour is a synthetic erosion control blanket that has been designed to be sprayed through high-pressure hydroseeding equipment. Once sprayed, it dries and sets in a matter of hours, providing extended high-shear resistant erosion control.
EcoArmour’s advanced technology means that it will stabilise surfaces in excess of 20 years, making it the ideal erosion control and stabilisation product for vertical walls, roadside batters, steep slopes, drains and all substrates, including compacted clay, rock, sand, sandy loam, dispersive soils and any soils that are extremely difficult to manage and access.
EcoArmour complies with and even surpasses all applicable transportation and road standards, including MRSW52 for erosion and sediment control, 20601P for geobinders, and 20605P for erosion control blankets, as mandated by the Queensland Government (Department of Transport and Main Roads) in 2021.
Method
Hoses supported by pumps allow us to reach steep and inaccessible slopes, as well as tight spaces over 250 metres away. Extended hose reels can also be used to reach areas that would be missed by other application methods.
Method
Truck-mounted cannons can spray a distance of over 100 metres. Dual cannons can also be used for simultaneous application of the solution from both sides of the spray zone.

How It Works
As with any erosion control project, we initially map the area using high-resolution drone technology to ensure we provide the most appropriate solution for the site. If required, we will conduct soil testing to confirm that EcoArmour will be the most effective solution.
To maximise the longevity of EcoArmour, site preparation is sometimes required to level the surface before application. Once prepared, application via hose or HydroRig® cannon ensures a uniform and even application of EcoArmour.
EcoArmour dries quickly and has the ability to withstand moderate rain events after three hours. Post application, we survey the site with our drone to ensure the complete coverage and uniform application needed to achieve functional longevity of up to 20 years.
A 3D survey is undertaken to map the surface area to a high level of accuracy.
If needed, the site is prepared to ensure a level surface for optimal application and longevity.
EcoArmour is mixed thoroughly within the holding tanks of our purpose-built HydroRigs.
A drone fitted with scanning camera makes sure the application is consistent.
