Turf Reinforcement Mat Cut Sheet
The flexible mats are designed for steep slopes where high performance soft armor erosion control is required.
Turf reinforcement mat cut sheet. Designed with patented x3 fiber technology it is specially engineered for superior erosion control on steep slopes and vegetated waterways. These are the areas in which trms are typically used. Stream river and canal banks. These netless composite free three dimensional second generation trms feature a rugged material construction that combines superior tensile strength flexibility and uv stability.
Most turf reinforcement mats trm s are synthetic fiber erosion control blankets that offer permanent support to vegetation. Made of flexible three dimensional polypropylene trms can mold to the vulnerable area and are anchored to the soil to promote the growth of vegetation. Curlex enforcer a bio composite turf reinforcement mat designed for service of at least 36 months or more this erosion control blanket is made from naturally seed free great lakes aspen excelsior fibers bound by 2 layers of extra heavy duty black uv enhanced netting to ensure permanent reinforcement between root systems and the. The composite turf reinforcement mat c trm shall be a machine produced mat of 100 uv stable polypropylene fiber matrix incorporated into permanent three dimensional turf rein forcement matting.
It is of consistent thickness with fibers evenly distributed throughout the entire area of the blanket. Turf reinforcement mats trm are the ideal product for long term erosion protection on slopes and in channels. Landlok turf reinforcement mats. Now we ve taken the same woven technology in our high performance turf reinforcement mats hptrms and used it to design the next generation of trms.
Pyramat high performance turf reinforcement mat hptrm is a three dimensional lofty woven polypropylene geotextile. Landlok turf reinforcement mats trms featuring x3 fiber technology are three dimensional and or stitchbonded polypropylene geotextiles that deliver long term erosion protection. Mirafi tm series high performance turf reinforcement mats hptrm are 3 dimensional lofty synthetic erosion control mats that provide bare soil retention vegetation nurturing and high performance turf reinforcement. By reinforcing roots and stems landlok promotes vegetation which has been recognized by the epa as the most effective form of erosion control.
The top and bottom of each blanket is covered with extra heavy duty black net. Trm s combine vegetative growth and synthetic materials to form a high strength mat that helps prevent soil erosion in drainage areas and steep slopes. Curlex enforcer a biocomposite turf reinforcement mat trm consiststhat of a specific cut of naturally seed free great lakes aspen curled wood excelsior with 80 six inch fibers or greater fiber length. Erosion control systems that incorporate trm s allow supported.
Turf reinforcement mats are normally used in hydraulic applications where concentrated flows are too great for vegetation to withstand naturally or in areas where limited vegetation is anticipated. The matrix shall be evenly distributed across the entire width of the matting and stitch bonded between a ultra heavy duty uv stabilized nettings with 0 50 x 0 50 inch 1 27 x 1 27 cm openings an ultra heavy uv stabilized dramatically corrugated crimped intermediate netting with 0 5 x 0 5.
