High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats

Slope Protection, Channel Protection,
Temporary Stabilization and Final Stabilization

A Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) is a long-term, non-degradable rolled excelsior control product that reduces soil erosion and assists in the establishment and growth of vegetation. TRMs, also known as flexible channel liners are manufactured by many companies. They are composed primarily of UV stabilized geosynthetic or geocomposite materials, netting and/or wire mesh, processed into three dimensional reinforcement matrix. TRMs are designed to be permanent and for use in critical hydraulic conditions.

High Performance TRM

To date, high-performance turf reinforcement mats are often used for the purpose of reclamation, or to fix the soil on various inclined surfaces. Initially, the soil is protected by the base material itself, after which the shoots and roots of the plants start to anchor the slope. First, the preparation of the foundation is required: the stones, rubbish are removed, and the soil is loosened. The smooth surface should get slanted to prevent stagnation of water, or you need to think about the availability of quality drainage. Laying of biomats in the area of slopes is done by rolling from the top down and overlap of five to eight centimeters. In order to avoid a biomats shift from the wind gusts, they are attached by wire: approximately two wire staples per one square meter. In the case of a very steep slope, you can increase the number of staples.
