EARTHLOK™ is trusted on large-scale mining projects across Australia, delivering unmatched erosion control, stability & superior environmental protection.

Why EarthLok is the top choice for mining

 

Sustainable, Long-Term Protection Enabling Restoration

EARTHLOK™ delivers durable erosion control that supports sustainable land rehabilitation across mining environments. Engineered for permanent ground stabilisation, it can be topsoiled and naturally vegetated making it well-suited for integration into disturbed mine sites and enabling ecosystems to regenerate over time. EARTHLOK® helps mining operations achieve environmental stewardship goals with long-term confidence.

Revegetate. Restore. Regenerate.

EARTHLOK™ supports the return of native vegetation within mining-affected areas. Its structure allows for root growth, water infiltration, and soil development—key elements in successful, self-sustaining post-mining landscapes. Over time, it becomes part of the natural environment, not a barrier to rehabilitation efforts in mining sites.

Efficient to Install, Built to Endure

With installation rates of over 1,000 m² per day and minimal ground preparation, EARTHLOK™ accelerates mining project timelines while reducing earthworks and site disturbance. It stays in place once installed—no rework, no replacements—ensuring a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution tailored for long-term mining site stewardship.

Cost-Effective Over the Long Term

By eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance and replacement, EARTHLOK™ reduces lifecycle costs for mining operations. Faster installation and fewer earthworks translate into significant savings on labour, equipment, and material handling in mining rehabilitation projects.

Rock Scarcity Solution – A Smarter Alternative to Riprap

Sourcing and transporting rock is costly, time-consuming, and often not feasible in remote or high-demand areas. EARTHLOK™ eliminates the need for rock, providing a flexible, durable erosion control system that installs quickly and performs for decades. This makes it a smarter alternative to riprap. EARTHLOK™ offers a low-cost, high-performance alternative that eliminates the need for rock fill, installs faster, and conforms easily to natural contours.
