Tensarmat

Tensarmat - a 3-dimensional structure for the confinement of soils.

Tensar Mat is used to control soil erosion on slopes including those that are subjected to wave run-up or are intermittently wetted.

The Mat is designed to initially stabilise the surface whilst assisting vegetation to establish. It then goes on to provide long-term, tenacious reinforcement of the root system.

Reinforced grass slopes have been shown to have an erosion resistance able to withstand current velocities in excess of 4m/sec.

Tensar Mat for erosion protection - the benefits

• Cost-effective long-term solution for erosion control
• Easy, quick and economic to install
• Natural, attractive appearance
• Environmentally safe
• Maintains close contact with the soil profile for maximum root anchorage
• Aids establishment of initial vegetation growth
• Avoids topsoil creep on slopes
• Protects against 'bald spots' on grass slopes subject to high wear
• May be used with hydraseeding and soil nails
