Coir Geotextile from Petra Oil:
Paving the Way for Sustainable Road Infrastructure
Coir Geotextile is a coir yarn material that is significantly used for infrastructural works on roads and pavements. Coir Geotextile stands as a sustainable and versatile choice, epitomizing efficacy in diverse road construction applications. This 100% natural and biodegradable solution not only ensures eco-friendly infrastructure but also excels in promoting road stability while reducing rutting and fortifying soil. The remarkable advantages of Coir Geotextile are exceptional durability, resistance to rot, and fostering vegetation. Coir Geotextile is not only used to build roads but also to safeguard environmental balance.
Petra Oil, a leading Dubai-based entrepreneurship, which spearheads global promotion of Coir Geotextile as an eco-friendly solution. Our advocacy emphasizes on the Coir’s ability to maintain aggregate cleanliness, prevent finesse migration, saline water resistance and to safeguard roads against erosion, particularly in areas with heavy rainfall or poor soil quality. This intensive effort between Coir’s attributes to Petra Oil’s advocacy underscores a significant shift towards sustainable practices in road infrastructure development.
Functions
Coir Geotextiles produce a flexible paving system by interconnecting between the sub-base and the soft subgrade to avoid mixing particles of two different soil layers.
Coir Geotextiles absorb the excess overflowing water from structures such as rainwater and discharges which promotes vegetation.
Coir Geotextiles are permeable material to filter water excluding the soil particles and larger stones from various structures. It reduces damage to the roads and avoids risk of flooding.
Earth Structures are reinforced by filling materials using heavy coir geotextiles. It enhances the bearing capacity of roads, which extends the life span of roads and reduces the maintenance cost.
Benefits
Geotextiles are an excellent material for resistance to rot and prevent soil erosion as they filter as well as drain water and prevent mitigation of soil along the slope.

We engaged Paul Trueman of quarty Studio to manage the planning process and to design and manage a full renovation and remodelling of our 1930s house. We really enjoyed working with Paul. We would not hesitate to
recommend Paul and Quarty.
Geotextiles block rutting, cracking and erosion on the roads and make soil stabilization. As it prevents damage from heavy traffic loads and moisture which increases the life span of roads.

The material's durability minimizes maintenance costs, and its resistance to rot ensures a longer lifespan, translating it into sustained economic efficiency.
Coir Geotextiles help prevent accidents on roads by enhancing overall stability, reducing the risk of surface erosion, and maintaining a solid road foundation. With improved stability and reduced hazards, Coir Geotextiles contribute to safer driving conditions on roads.
Coir Geotextile materials reduce environmental impact as it is derived from coir yarn and also breaks down naturally over time. Additionally, their application promotes soil stability, while minimizing the need for harmful chemical additives, and encourages vegetation.

Biodegradable
Coir mats, eco-friendly and biodegradable, naturally decompose without harmful residues.
Outstanding Durability
Coir’s natural resistance to moisture, UV radiation, ensures that road made from this versatile fibre last a long time
Natural Drainage
They allow for natural drainage, water to drip into the soil and reduce the risk of accumulation and road damage.
Solution for erosion
Coir's erosion control applications, like geotextiles and blankets, are vital for ecosystem protection and reducing landslide impact.
Slope Stabilization
These mats improve the stability of steep road road embankments, lowering the risk of landslides and preserving road intergrity
Temporary Roads
Coir mats create stable surfaces for construction and access roads in unstable soil areas, supporting vehicles and machinery
Case Studies
India's Kerala: Road safety with coir geotextiles
Kerala, a state in southwest India, is well-known for its luxuriant coconut groves and a sizable coir production sector. The state government started a project to use coir geotextiles in road construction to encourage sustainability and aid coconut farmers in the neighbourhood. In numerous road projects throughout the state, Coir Geotextiles were used to reinforce the roadbeds.
Problem
Kerala experiences intense seasonal monsoon rains that frequently cause road damage, landslides, and soil erosion.
Solution
Increase soil stability, lessen erosion, and lengthen the lifespan of roads, Coir Geotextiles were positioned beneath the road's surface.
Result
The use of Coir Geotextiles significantly decreased the need for road maintenance and soil erosion. Coir geotextiles were used to build roads, and those roads turned out to be more resilient, economical, and environmentally friendly.
Coir erosion controls blanket for slope stabilization in Indonesia
With its varied topography and group of islands, Indonesia faces significant difficulties in maintaining its rocky terrain and mountainous roads. To stabilize road embankments and reduce erosion in difficult terrains, coir erosion control blankets were introduced.
Problem
Since many road segments in Indonesia are located in hilly or mountainous terrain, they are susceptible to erosion and landslides, especially during the rainy season.
Solution
To stop soil erosion, promote plant growth, and stabilize the ground, coir erosion control blankets were put in place on slopes and embankments.
Result
The coir erosion control blankets had the desired effect of lowering the probability of landslides and erosion, making roads safer and requiring less money to maintain and repair them.
These case studies show how coir-based solutions can be applied successfully in road construction projects, improving road stability while lowering maintenance costs and having a smaller environmental impact. Coir has shown to be a durable and environmentally friendly choice, particularly in regions prone to soil erosion, heavy rainfall, and challenging terrains. These examples show how coir has the potential to play a significant role in the creation of more resilient and environmentally friendly road networks around the globe.
