Slope Revetment

MacMat^® provides permanent erosion protection on upland slopes, streambanks, wetland boundaries and shorelines. The mats provide a stable medium to encourage natural colonization and support healthy plant growth.

The mat is a reinforced matrix designed for permanent and critical applications. MacMat^® provides sufficient strength and void space so that root systems can develop through the matrix.

Reno mattresses are used as a revetment to prevent erosion. Reno mattresses are made of 6x8 meshes that can be filled with smaller rock than the gabions.

Biomac^® is commonly used for erosion control revetments and sediment traps. The Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) provides immediate erosion control and a stable medium to support healthy plant growth. Biomac^® is installed with vegetation. Eventually the material biodegrades and the cohesive strength of the root systems and flexible nature of the plants become the primary stabilizing and protecting element.
