Geosynthetics for erosion control and soil stabilization
Geomats are polymer fiber products used widely to protect vulnerable slopes from erosion and to encourage vegetation. They are a good solution for the soils suffering from the degrading impact of rain, drain water, wind and waves. They are made of water-permeable synthetic materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene. There is also an option of biodegradable geomats made of biodegradable fibres such as coir and straw – they are called biomats.
Localized breaks in the grass and bush cover root system often lead to erosion. Geomats protect bare soils from this and ensure rapid re-vegetation. They create a stable surface that is highly resistant to the erosive effects of water and wind.
When installed before the erosion process starts, geomats reduce the amount of eroded soil by over 50% compared to unprotected banks.
The reinforced geomats allow the retention of a thick surface soil layer even on very steep non-water permeable slopes (for example, stabilization of surface layers in re-cultivation of landfills).
They are light and easy to handle. Place the geomat on the ground at the beginning of the project and roll it up when the vegetation is cultivated. You can roll it up all at once or in separate blocks.
We use geogrids that are highly resistant to installation damage, which is very important to withstand the forces during the soil compaction. Their expected service life is more than 100 years.
