Erosion Control Matting – UV Stabilized and Multiple Types

Water and soil loss is an serious problems all over the world. Additional, the exposed soil is easy to be blown by the wind and cause dust pollution. Erosion control mats can help you solve these problems and protect the global together.

Erosion control matting, also called erosion control mats, erosion control blanket, soil retention mats, is made of PP or PE materials with excellent UV and chemical stability performance to be used in harsh environments and complex geological conditions. It can keep soil in place and protect soil from being eroded by rain, snow, wind and other weathers.

According to different technology and material, the erosion control mats can be divided into four types:

  • Shade cloth
  • Geogrid
  • Geocell
  • 3D geomats

Shade cloth

Shade cloth adopts HDPE or PP materials to kit into cloth fabric with different weight and shading cloth. The plastic material can be round strand or flat strands for different applications and shading rate requirements.

Shade cloth is widely used in agriculture to protect plants from burning suns and reduce water evaporation.

Besides, it can be covered onto the exposed soil in the construction site, slope and mountain to prevent soils and debris from being blown by wind.

Specification

  • Material: HDPE or PP material.
  • Weight: 75 g/m2 – 280 g/m2.
  • Shade rate: 30% – 80%.
  • Color: black, green, blue and other colors for choice.
  • Strand type: round strand or flat strand.

Benefit

  • 30% to 80% shading rate for choice.
  • Various colors to suit surrounding environments.
  • Excellent UV resistance performance.
  • Economical and functional.
  • Easy to install and replace.
  • Reduce water evaporation.
  • Protect soil form erosion.

ECM-01: Round wire shade cloth.

ECM-02: Flat wire shade cloth.

ECM-03: Shade cloth is used as vegetable canopy to reduce water evaporation.

ECM-04: Shade cloth is covered the exposed soil to prevent being blown by winds.

Geogrid

Geogrid is made of HDPE or PP materials, the materials are extruded into sheet and then punched into regular mesh pattern and finally stretched in longitudinal direction or both longitudinal and transverse direction.

Geogrid is an important reinforced material in road base construction projects. The high strength of geogrid can increase the loading capacity of road and extend the road service life.

In addition, the geogrid can be placed along the slope or mountain to protect soil from erosion by rains and flows.

Specification

  • Material: HDPE or PP.
  • Type: uniaxial and biaxial type.
  • Color: black.
  • Yield tensile strength:
    • Uniaxial geogrid: 50 kN/m, 60 kN/m, 80 kN/m, 120 kN/m, 150 kN/m, 200 kN/m, 260 kN/m.
    • Biaxial geogrid: 15 kN/m, 20 kN/m, 30 kN/m, 40 kN/m, 50 kN/m.
  • Roll width: 1 to 3 m.
  • Roll length: maximum 100 m.

Benefit

  • One or two direction choice for different loading capacity requirements and applications.
  • UV resistance performance for long service life.
  • High radial stiffness.
  • Chemical stability to be used in complex environments.
  • Increase loading capacity and extend the service life of road.
  • Protect embankment and slop from water and soil loss.

ECM-05: Uniaxial geogrid.

ECM-06: Biaxial geogrid.

ECM-07: Geogrid is widely used in the road construction to increase loading capacity.

ECM-08: Geogrid can be used for preventing water and soil loss.

Geocell

Geocell is a three dimensional geosynthetics made of HDPE materials. Neighbor strips are welded together to form a honeycomb structure. In some cases, the strips are punched several continuously round holes.

Geocell is widely used in the road, highway and channel wall constructions as the reinforced material.

Additional, it can be used with soils, sands and gravels to protect the slope, embank and river channel.

Specification

  • Material: high density polyethylene.
  • Welding distance: 330 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm.
  • Cell height: 75 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 220 mm.
  • Expand cell size: 244 mm × 203 mm.

Benefit

  • Three dimensional geosynthetics for high strength.
  • Small volume for easy transport and storage.
  • Lightweight and economical.
  • UV stabilized for various applications and environments.
  • Reinforce road base for higher loading capacity.
  • Protect slope and channel from water and soil loss

ECM-09: Smooth strip geocell.

ECM-10: Perforated strip geocell.

ECM-11: Geocell is widely used in the road constructions to reinforce the road base.

ECM-12: Geocell can be placed on the slope to reduce water and soil loss.

3D geomats

The 3D geomats are made of polypropylene monofilament. The materials are interlocked with each other and fused together to form an solid mat structure. The 3D geomats can be used with geotextile, geogrid and steel hexagonal wire mesh. Reinforced structure makes the 3D geomats can improve the working performance and service life.

3D geomats is widely used in slopes, embankment, river channel and other places to prevent water and soil loss and ensure the plant normal growing.

Specification

  • Material: PP.
  • Color: black, green, white and other customized colors.
  • Tensile strength: 0.8 kN/m, 1.4 kN/m, 2.0 kN/m, 3.2 kN/m.
  • Weight: 220 g/m2, 260 g/m2, 350 g/m2 and 450 g/m2.
  • Width: commonly is 2.0 m.

Benefit

  • 90% void space for better soil retention performance.
  • UV stabilized for long service life.
  • Various combined reinforcement improves working performance.
  • Reduce water and soil loss.
