geomat is a geomat made from a three-dimensional matrix of UV stabilized, non-degradable synthetic fibres, heat bonded where they cross, extruded onto a double twisted steel woven mesh. The steel wire is with heavily galvanised and may also be protected with an extruded polymeric coating for greater protection.
Used on vulnerable soil slopes, exposed to erosion, immediately increases the soil’s resistance to erosion by providing an environment that enhances the growth of vegetation through the mat.
It is also used within water courses to provide hydraulic erosion protection. The Geomat is secured to the ground using suitable pins / stakes as required in the project.
Its most common use is within soil nailed slopes; the soil nails provide the overall slope reinforcement with the Geomat providing surface strengthening and support between the nail heads.
