Salike® Celebrates 10 Years in the UK with the Launch of Salike Drain Sheet: A Revolutionary Erosion Control Solution

Salike®, a leader in innovative and sustainable landscape solutions, is proud to announce the launch of Salike® Drain Sheet, a cutting-edge product designed to provide superior erosion control in challenging weather conditions. This exciting product launch marks a significant milestone as Salike® celebrates 10 years of successful operations in the UK.

Developed in Japan and used for decades in erosion control applications, Salike® Drain Sheet is now available for the UK market. With rigorous testing confirming its exceptional performance, Salike® Drain Sheet offers a sustainable and reliable solution to protect vulnerable landscapes from soil erosion caused by heavy rainfall.

Proven Performance Under Real-World Conditions

To ensure the product’s effectiveness, Salike Drain Sheet was rigorously tested using an artificial rainfall device to simulate real-world conditions. The test measured the performance of Salike Drain Sheet in comparison to bare soil (control section) and a vegetation sheet section under the same simulated rainfall intensity of 100 mm/h for 60 minutes. Key parameters, including the volume of drainage, transparency of drainage, and volume of outflow soil, were carefully monitored during the test.

Key Test Results:

• Efficient Water Drainage: The Drain Sheet section showed superior water drainage compared to bare soil, preventing water accumulation and controlling runoff.
  
  
• Improved Water Quality: Drainage water from the Drain Sheet section was noticeably clearer, indicating effective aggregation of soil particles and better water quality.
  
  
• Minimized Soil Loss: The Drain Sheet reduced the volume of soil loss compared to both the bare soil and vegetation sheet sections, providing enhanced soil stability and reducing erosion.
  
  

Salike Drain Sheet

The results of the testing confirm that Salike® Drain Sheet is a highly effective erosion control solution. Its unique design, which includes nonwoven fabrics and flocculants  efficiently drains excess water while preventing soil erosion. The product’s ability to reduce soil loss, increase drainage transparency, and promote healthier, more resilient soil makes it the ideal choice for managing slopes, embankments, and other erosion-prone areas.

Key Benefits of Salike® Drain Sheet:

• Effective Rainwater Management: Designed to handle heavy rainfall and reduce water accumulation, ensuring landscape stability.
  
  
• Enhanced Soil Stability: Prevents soil loss and promotes rapid plant growth with the addition of fertiliser and water-retaining materials.
  
  
• Durable: The product offers long-term protection against erosion, even in extreme weather conditions.
