ROADSIDE HYDROSEEDING PROJECT IN HAZELTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Between 2019 and 2023, MALT Ventures partnered with Vihar Construction to complete a municipal roadside hydroseeding project in Hazelton, British Columbia. The initiative aimed to stabilize soil and promote vegetation growth along newly constructed road ditches and grass lines, covering approximately 5,000 metres. The project utilized hydroseeding techniques customized to the unique environmental conditions of Hazelton, ensuring sustainable, long-term vegetation establishment.

KEY PROJECT COMPONENTS
The roadside hydroseeding project required a detailed, site-specific approach to ensure long-term vegetation success and soil stability. Each component was selected based on the area's unique environmental conditions and the operational needs of the multi-year timeline. From tailored seed mixtures to efficient water sourcing, every element contributed to achieving consistent, high-quality results across the 5,000 metres of newly constructed roadside.​
Site-specific Seed Mixtures
-
MALT Ventures applied seed blends formulated to suit the specific soil composition and climate conditions of Hazelton.
-
Custom mixtures supported optimal seed germination and sustainable vegetation growth over time.
Hydroseeding Application
-
A slurry of seed, wood fibre mulch, and tackifier was applied using a turret system for efficient and uniform coverage.
-
The wood fibre mulch provided substantial soil coverage and moisture retention, critical for seed establishment.
-
Tackifier within the slurry securely bonds the mulch and seeds to the soil, improving erosion resistance throughout the vegetation's growth phase.
-
Local hydrants were used as water sources to maintain consistent application without project delays.
Collaboration with Vihar Construction
-
Vihar Construction oversaw road installation and prepared the site, allowing MALT Ventures to concentrate on delivering a precise hydroseeding application.
-
This collaboration ensured efficient progression from earthworks to revegetation, helping to meet project timelines and uphold quality standards.
PROJECT BENEFITS
The advantages of our hydroseeding project were:
-
Improved soil stabilization: The combination of wood fibre mulch and tackifier significantly reduced soil erosion along disturbed ditches and grass lines.
-
Rapid vegetation establishment: Site-specific seed mixtures encouraged healthy, resilient plant growth that was adapted to Hazelton's local soil and climate conditions.
-
Efficient application methods: Turret-based spraying ensured even slurry distribution, and hydrant-sourced water enhanced operational efficiency.
-
Strong project coordination: The partnership between MALT Ventures and Vihar Construction maintained a consistent workflow, resulting in high-quality outcomes across the multi-year project.
WHY HYDROSEEDING IS IMPORTANT FOR HAZELTON
Hydroseeding provides numerous advantages for infrastructure and environmental health. Newly constructed roadside areas are vulnerable to soil erosion and habitat loss. By applying hydroseeding techniques using local seed blends and advanced mulch systems, MALT Ventures aimed to support:
-
Erosion control: Stabilized soils prevent sediment runoff into waterways and reduce maintenance costs for roadside infrastructure.
-
Vegetation restoration: Promoting native plant growth helps restore ecological balance and supports local wildlife habitats.
-
Infrastructure longevity: Vegetative cover helps protect roadsides from water damage and degradation over time.
-
Community development: Establishing resilient roadside vegetation contributes to the aesthetic and environmental quality of public spaces in Hazelton.
