ECTC's HECP Specification

The Erosion Control Technology Council, after two years of work and deliberations, has recently approved and published a comprehensive specification and application chart for hydraulic erosion control products.

This specification is the product of consensus amongst the leading manufacturers of HECPs in the industry, and is designed to satisfy the needs of engineers, designers, hydro-seeding contractors and other end-users of these products.  Formatted to be used in its entirety or easily modified as necessary by the end-user, this specification provides expert guidance from product classification and selection to product mixing and installation.  

A generic specification for manufactured, temporary, degradable, pre-packaged fibrous material that is mixed with water and hydraulically applied. Hydraulic erosion control products are designed to reduce soil erosion and assist in the establishment and growth of vegetation.
