As Hong Kong is a geographically hilly region,
most of the territories developments are associated with slope stabilization
and protection work. Shotcrete is the most commonly used methodologies
to cover the soil slope and prevent surface erosion. Therefore,
numerous natural vegetation woodland slopes are gradually reduced,
environmental pollution is magnified, the ecological system is damaged
whereas the macro climate is adversely affected. In 1998, Toyo introduced
an advanced slope greening technique from Japan. By spraying the
organic fibrous mulch materials on steep slopes and providing reliable
planting medium, it is firstly named as Hydromulching in Hong Kong
in the project of Smithfield Road, Hong Kong, Contract No. HY/94/20.
