Mineral wool erosion control roll
View Patent ↗An erosion control roll comprises a porous outer casing having an interior, a fill material within the interior, wherein the fill material comprises a mineral wool. The erosion control roll is flexible and positionable where it can provide one or more of erosion control, sediment separation, water flow diversion, and a fire barrier.
1. An erosion control roll comprising:
a porous outer casing having an interior, the porous outer casing comprising a single piece of tubular netting having a first closed end and a second closed end, and
a fill material within the interior, wherein the fill material consists essentially of mineral wool,
wherein the erosion control roll is tubular and has a length of at least about 6 feet, and wherein the erosion control roll is flexible and positionable where it can provide one or more of erosion control, sediment separation, water flow diversion, and a fire barrier.
2. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the netting comprises polyethylene, high density polyethylene, or burlap.
3. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the netting is closed at the first end and the second end by tie clips.
4. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the erosion control roll has a length of from about 6 feet to about 25 feet.
5. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the outer casing is from about 6 inches to about 24 inches in width.
6. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the outer casing is from about 8 inches to about 12 inches in width.
7. An erosion control roll according to claim 1 wherein the mineral wool comprises stone wool.
8. An erosion control roll comprising:
a porous outer casing having an interior, the porous outer casing comprising a single piece of tubular netting having a first closed end and a second closed end, the outer casing having a length from about 2 feet to about 6 feet, and
a fill material within the interior, wherein the fill material consists essentially of mineral wool,
wherein the erosion control roll is tubular having a width of from about 8 inches to about 12 inches and is flexible and positionable in or near a drain to reduce the amount of sediment entering the drain.
9. An erosion control roll comprising:
a porous outer casing having an interior, the porous outer casing comprising a single piece of tubular netting having a first closed end and a second closed end, and
a fill material within the interior, wherein the fill material consists of mineral wool,
wherein the erosion control roll is tubular and has a length of at least about 6 feet, and wherein the erosion control roll is flexible and positionable where it can provide one or more of erosion control, sediment separation, water flow diversion, and a fire barrier.
10. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the netting comprises polyethylene, high density polyethylene, or burlap.
11. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the netting is closed at the first end and the second end by tie clips.
12. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the erosion control roll has a length of from about 6 feet to about 25 feet.
13. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the outer casing is from about 6 inches to about 24 inches in width.
14. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the outer casing is from about 8 inches to about 12 inches in width.
15. An erosion control roll according to claim 9 wherein the mineral wool comprises stone wool.
