STANDARDS
The Erosion Control Australian Standard No# AS 5181: 2017 Use and installation of turf as an erosion, nutrient and sediment control measure Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee for Turf.
The objective of this Standard is to provide requirements for the use and installation of turf as an erosion, nutrient and sediment control measure, and guidance on selection and disposal of turf species.
Scientific research and trials have confirmed that turf is an effective erosion, nutrient and sediment control measure, especially in construction and building situations and in other forms of development and land use (e.g. agricultural uses, mining). Turf can also provide a number of social and environmental benefits in built environments.
This Standard is intended to be used once a decision has already been made to use turf as the preferred method of erosion, nutrient and sediment control, and after due consideration has been given to the site and use characteristics of the specific project.
Throughout the Standard the expression ‘control of erosion’ is used, and in each instance this expression can be understood to also mean ‘control of erosion, control of pollution from excessive amounts of nutrients, and control of sediment transport’.
