purposes. Turf Reinforcement Mattress is comprised of a permanent - high strength three­ dimensional matting structure incorporated with coconut fiber, designed to stay in place permanently to protect soil from erosion.

This matrix­ like product composed of biodegradable natural fibre, nets, and/or placed other elements over bare soil areas. The unique

Turf Reinforcement Mattress

design is able to entrap fine sediments and reduce water velocity, which is applicable for

Permanent Erosion Protection

, channel and diversion ditch protection, and stream bank protection. Besides, Turf Reinforcement Mats protect vulnerable slopes while promoting the establishment of natural vegetation, which creates natural and aesthetically pleasing landscape.

Advantages:
