Green-tech supply gtCoir Matting to stabilise the bank at Ermine Street Church Academy School

Ermine Street Church Academy, located in the growing community of Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, required the reinstatement and stabilisation of a sloped bank within the school to blend seamlessly with the existing landscaping.

Barnes Construction engaged Fordham Landscapes, based in Ely, Cambridgeshire, to carry out the project.

Leveraging their longstanding partnership with leading landscape supplier Green-tech, Fordham Landscapes sourced gtCoir Matting, a robust and sustainable erosion control material, to address the site’s needs.

Green-tech provides innovative and sustainable solutions for a wide range of projects. With a comprehensive product range that includes tree planting materials, soils, and erosion control products, Green-tech supports landscape contractors, architects, and developers in creating environmentally friendly and long-lasting landscapes.

After discussing the project requirements with the Green-tech sales team, it was decided that gtCoir Matting was the most appropriate product. Green-tech supplied four rolls, totalling 200m², for this project.

gtCoir Matting is a popular choice because it is eco-friendly, durable, and water-resistant. It also encourages re-vegetation by creating a stable growing surface. It is supplied in rolls and supports embankments and slopes where extensive ground stabilisation is needed. It is a heavy-duty, hand-twisted coir matting suitable for soil reinforcement and ground protection projects. The matting can be over-seeded with grass and/or wildflower seeds.

The installation of gtCoir Matting was a success. It effectively stabilised the bank while supporting the establishment of vegetation. Its eco-friendly design provided a sustainable and long-lasting solution.

Andi Elstone, Business Manager at Fordham Landscapes, comments, "Green-tech is always our first call for specialist landscape materials. Their prompt response, excellent product range, and fair pricing are the reasons we’ve worked with them for so many years. The gtCoir Matting provided an excellent solution for the bank stabilisation at Ermine Street Church Academy."

Green-tech’s commitment to quality and innovation, combined with Fordham Landscapes expertise, ensured the successful completion of this project. GtCoir Matting stabilised the bank, enhanced the landscape, and contributed to a safe, sustainable environment for the school community. This project exemplifies how Green-tech supports contractors in delivering outstanding and environmentally responsible results.
