Geomat
Description
A geomat is a three-dimensional structure made of thermally bonded fibers of polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyamide, produced using extrusion. The primary purpose of a geomat is to protect the upper soil layer from erosion and to reinforce slopes and embankments. Geomats are available with smooth or textured surfaces, making them adaptable for various tasks.
Properties and Benefits
Durability
Resistant to chemical exposure, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations.
Lightweight and Easy Installation
Its light weight simplifies transportation and installation.
Versatility
Can be combined with other geosynthetic materials.
Effective Erosion Protection
Prevents weathering, landslides, and hydro-erosion of the upper soil layers.
Eco-Friendliness
Promotes greening and preserves the natural vegetation layer.
Applications
Erosion Control
- Stabilization of slopes, embankments, and cuttings.
- Protection of slopes and shorelines from hydro-erosion.
Greening
- Green roof construction.
- Landscaping and restoration of vegetation layers.
Reinforcement of Areas
- Coverage of areas while maintaining the natural vegetation layer.
- Greening of geo-structures.
