Geomat

Geomats are three-dimensional water permeable polymer or other synthetical materials’ structures, thermally jointed with each other. They are used for fixing soil elements, grass and small plants roots, also applied in geotechnics and other construction fields. Geomats are produced in form of regular or random oriented three-dimensional yarn structures or in form of honeycombs or other geotextile or plastic band constructions.

Geomats are applied to create stable vegetation along river, pond banks and slopes to prevent erosion processes of surfaces. Geomats in form of stereoscopic honeycomb constructions are used in combination with geotextiles to reinforce foundations and increase bearing resistance.
Main application objects of the materials:

Protection from hydro erosion, eolation and landslides in road construction;
Reinforcement of slopes, banks, collecting gutters, subgrades;
landscape gardening;
construction of platforms with natural vegetation;
reinforcement of coast line;
landscape architecture

Material Major Advantages

As nature itself does not have efficient means for erosion control, application of polymer anti-erosion mats is an efficient solution. Geomat is a light flexible material, an alternative to massive and ecologically-unfriendly concrete, stone or asphalt constructions. Application of bulky geomats due to reinforcement of root system provides with long-lasting and permanent erosion control of river and lake banks, slope and dikes, surfaces in flooded areas.

Due to open surface and strip hardness geomat can be easily filled with soil all over its area and depth, resistant to chemical and biological impact of natural origin, UV resistant, which guarantees long lifespan of the material.

Geomats are resistant to adverse environmental effects. Open surface encourages root germination, quick vegetation of slopes and thus guarantees erosion control. Geomats protect slopes and horizontal surfaces notwithstanding the soil foundation. At right choice of the material and observation of assembling technique rules erosion damages can be eliminated even on difficult areas and steep slopes.
