In open broad acre areas RST can supply the appropriate veneer product from the Erosion Control Suite that is diluted and sprayed directly onto the treatment area by water carts or other equipment such as aeroplanes or even hovercrafts.

Erosion Control Suite products can be applied on embankments or batters as a strong binding solution to stop dust, erosion and sediment loss, which is ideal for revegetation programs where added hydromulch, seed fixation and germination is required.

Long and short term veneer treatments from the Erosion Control Suite can be applied to stockpiles via water cart, hydromulching truck or injection into the spray irrigation systems to stop dust, erosion and sediment loss.

Erosion Control Suite products can be used on projects where floccing and de-watering is required, with solutions available in liquid, granule or block form to assist in the clarification of water.

Products from the Erosion Control Suite can also be used in hydromulching, with short term binding solutions applied to the mulch solution to help minimise erosion, allowing for faster planting.

Finally, Erosion Control Suite products can be used in hydroseeding to assist in the establishment of grasses and other vegetation, which can minimise mulching costs while providing dust control and protection, allowing germination to occur.

RST operations and technical director David Handel said the range of products in the Erosion Control Suite have been designed and packaged together to provide a complete solution to the broad variety of problems related to erosion, including dust control, ground stabilisation and site rehabilitation.

“RST’s point of difference is that we go out into the field and work side by side with clients to really listen and identify what their unique challenges are,” Handel said.

“Our team of industry experts then works out which products are needed from our broad range of solutions to provide the most cost-effective and efficient plan to obtain the highest level of operational optimisation,” he said.

“We can even develop new products and tailor services or total packages to manage specific situations, because every client and site and environment we deal with is different.

“We then offer ongoing on and off site training and support to all of our clients because the key to success is ensuring our recommendations are followed through with correct operational support.”
