Hydroseeding

The spray recipe,

a watery suspension consisting of different additives, is applied with high-capacity pumping aggregates and high-pressure spray cannons

Example mining waste heap:

Sandy virgin soil before hydroseeding with a species-rich indigenous blend...

Example mining waste heap:

... and 2 years later

Example road construction:

Gravelly-sandy virgin soil slope shortly after hydroseeding and covering with erosion control mats

Example road construction:

Almost 2 years later

Example quarry:

Rocky slope before...

Example quarry:

...and 2 years after hydroseeding

Example vineyard:

Example sand pit:

Sandy and gravelly raw soil before hxdroseeding...

Example sand pit:

... and one and a half year later

Example urban green:

Hydroseeding on virgin soil with an indigenous seed blend

Example urban green:

1 year later a species-rich meadow is established

Example air seeding 1:

Big areas without access for vehicles can be treated by helicopters or special aircrafts

Example air seeding 2:

Application with a helicopter

Example golf course I:

Hydroseeding with green coloured mulch fiber (Cologne, Germany)

Example golf course II:

Hydroseeding on the Driving range with coloured mulch

Example high-altitude hydroseeding (2500 m above sea level):

Moelltal glacier, Kaernten, Austria

Example mulch application:

The best mulch effect is achieved by a layer of unchopped glued straw which is applied by a straw blower. Subsequently, the straw is glued by a tackifier

Example small area:

For small areas or sites without access for big vehicles, we use our small but effective hydroseeders with capacities up to 2.000 liters

Example energie farm:

Hydroseeding at a windpower farm

Example settling pond

without any access

Example secured steep slopes:

Our services also include the maintenance of revegetated steep slopes

Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is the only procedure to reliably and permanently establish vegetation on raw soils, steep slopes and sites endangered by erosion as well as on extreme and problematic surfaces. Wherever immediate protection of surfaces against erosion and suitable revegetation measures are required, this method is applied.

BENDER is one of the few authorized professional and spezialized companies with comprehensive and long-term experience in applying hydroseeding.

The construction of traffic routes (e.g. roads, highways, railroad tracks), waterways, dikes, landfills, industrial complexes, training areas, airports and golf courses as well as mining (e.g. lignite opencast mining, mining dumps) and landscaping are typical fields of application for hydroseeding.

Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding - the Procedure:

The hydroseeding recipe composed of seed and additives like special fertilizers, soil conditioners, mulch and erosion contol agents is mixed with water to a homogenous suspension in an all-terrain hydroseeder. This mixture is evenly spray-applied by means of a pumping aggregate and high-pressure spray cannon. The essential advantages of hydroseeding:

  • immediate erosion control due to soil binder and mulch fibers
  • successful performing even on raw soils poor in organic matter (humus)
  • establishing of vegetation on man made soils, e.g. slag, ashes, rubbish, industrial sludge, mining waste, coal 
  • growth acceleration due to special additives
  • mulch application
  • activation of soil life
  • adapted recipes for every site
  • grove seeding
  • consistent application of components even in impassable regions
  • dense and consistent site coverage
  • establishing of vegetation with high ecological value
  • even areas difficult to get to can be treated
  • high reliability
  • high day output
  • high economic efficiency

Spraying widths of up to 60 m and more are reached. With hose extensions, even areas at a distance of up to 200 mcan be sprayed, which enables us to apply the mixture without facing any problems even in areas that are impassable. Areas without any access for vehicles are sown with special aircrafts or helicopers (air seeding).
