A major road upgrade left extensive exposed road batters that needed erosion control and vegetation establishment. Council required consistent ground cover across 13,500 m² of bare soil to limit sediment runoff and keep the batters stable while construction continued.
New Era hydromulched the full 13,500 m² of batters in a single continuous program. The application was adjusted to suit conditions on each batter to achieve an even mulch layer that supports seed germination, holds soil moisture and protects the surface while road works progress.
The hydromulch stabilised the 13,500 m² of batters, controlled erosion and established a base for permanent vegetation cover. Works were delivered alongside active road construction, giving Orange City Council a practical, large-scale erosion control measure.
