Erosion control mats and blankets
Erosion control mats and blankets provide unobtrusive reinforcement on vulnerable embankments, steep slopes and channels. The geosynthetic materials are laid to prevent soil loss, strengthen and support roots, establish vegetation, and encourage plant growth.
They can be made from inert non-degradable polyamide, photodegradable polypropylene or steel mesh. Biodegradable jute, coir fibre and straw can also be used, and have a particularly low impact on the natural environment.
Rolling out seeded nets is an effective way to revegetate slopes and surfaces, while non-seeded matting is developed by hand-seeding or hydroseeding.
