Turf Reinforcement Mats

Turf Reinforcement Mats feature woven technology composed of a unique, three-dimensional matrix of polypropylene yarns. These yarns are designed in a uniform, dimensionally stable and homogenous configuration of pyramid-like structures, specially created to lock soil in place. TRM’s exhibit extremely high tensile strength as well as superior interlock and reinforcement capacity with both soil and root systems. They stand up to the toughest erosion applications where high loading and/or high survivability conditions are required, including maintenance access, steep slopes, arid and semi-arid environments, pipe inlets and outlets, structural backfills, utility cuts, potential traffic  areas, abrasion, high-flow channels and/or areas where greater factors of safety are desired.

ECONOMIC BENEFITS
TRM gridlocks soil in place under unvegetated, partially vegetated, and high-flow conditions. Ideal for extended ultraviolet (UV) exposure, utility cuts, maintenance equipment traffic, pipe inlets and outlets and other high loadings

  • Tensile strength, flexibility and seedling emergence: Holds seed and soil in place on channels and slopes while vegetation grows.
  • Provides permanent reinforcement to enhance vegetation’s natural ability to filter soil particles andprevent soil loss during storm events.
  • Promotes infiltration which leads to groundwater recharge.
  • Vegetation solution providing more pleasing aesthetics than conventional methods (i.e. rock riprapand concrete paving).
  • Greater flexibility to maintain intimate contact with subgrade, resulting in rapid seedling emergenceand minimal soil loss.
  • Can be used in arid and semi-arid environments.
  • Completely interconnected yarns that provide superior UV resistance throughout the TRM.
  • 2 or less mesh size to prevent wildlife entanglement in any sensitive habitats.
  • Superior product testing, performance and design life.
