What is a Geo mat?

Geomat K-P is coir, mulch and erosion control mattress made from 100% coconut fibre stitched between two PP nets. It provides immediate soil erosion control, it protects seeds and helps establish vegetation growth.

Can concrete mat be used to control erosion?

Flexamat is a tied concrete block mat used to control erosion in swales, ditches, slopes, shoreline protection, or any area where soil sediment can be moved by water runoff. Flexamat consists of concrete shapes, rectangular or round, that are tied together with high strength geogrid.

How do erosion control mats work?

Erosion control blankets are installed to help slow down the flow of water across the surface. They do a good job in catching water as it goes down the slope. Wattles can be made out of straw, and as time passes, it blends in with the soil and adds moisture.

What is erosion matting?

Erosion control matting is a temporary solution that supports plant growth and enables the reinforcement of the soil. It is executed by placing a mat or blanket either made from natural material (biodegradable mats) and synthetic materials (non-biodegradable mats).

What is geotextile material?

A geotextile is typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. Modern geotextiles are usually made from a synthetic polymer such as polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene and polyamides. Geotextiles can be woven, knitted or non-woven.

What is geogrid used for?

Geogrid is a flexible mesh that is used to create a reinforced coherent mass behind the retaining wall by stabilizing the soil. The stability of the soil depends greatly on the friction angle it contains. The friction angle is often referred to as the shear strength of the soil.

What is a rip rap wall?

Riprap describes a range of rocky material placed along shorelines, bridge foundations, steep slopes, and other shoreline structures to protect from scour and erosion. The size of the rock needed on a project depends on the steepness of the slope and how fast water is moving.

What is articulated concrete block?

Articulated concrete block systems (ACBs) are an effective countermeasure if properly designed and installed. The blocks are able to “articulate” to some degree along their adjoining faces, allowing the system to conform to changes in the subgrade while maintaining the protective cover.

How does a macmat erosion control mat work?

MacMat®R consists of a matrix of UV stabilized polymer fibres, extruded onto PVC coated and galvanised steel mesh during the manufacturing process to form a unique, one- piece mat for easy installation. Performance reliability As vegetation alone cannot offer long-term reliability, its performance should not be relied upon in designs.

What kind of geomat is used for erosion control?

MACMAT®R TECHNICAL DATA Geomat type A 3D geomat of entangled UV stabilised polypropylene monofilaments, heat bonded at contact points with void space >90%. Mesh Type Double twist hexagonal woven mesh, 60 x 80mm aperture. 2.2mm wire dia. (3.2mm dia including PVC coating).

What is the purpose of macmat your geofabrics?

MacMat R is made from an open three-dimensional mesh with a high open area to hold soil and provide a medium for root reinforcement. The double twist mesh provides resistance to rupture of the geomat on steep slopes when soil filled as well as improving the efficiency of soil anchors.

How is Trinter your used for erosion control?

Trinter R contains polyester (PET) reinforcing geogrid Intergrid. Both products are used for permanent and reliable top soil erosion control on slopes at different lengths and gradients. By reinforcing soil during vegetation growth they significantly improve development of a strong and deeper root system.
