Geomats Reinforced with Double Twisted Steel Woven Mesh, 3D Geomats Hexagonal Wire Mesh for Hydraulic Erosion

GEOMATS REINFORCED WITH STEEL MESH

Geomats are made from a three-dimensional matrix of UV stabilized, non-degradable synthetic fibres, heat bonded where they cross, extruded onto a double twisted steel woven mesh.

The reinforcing hexagonal double twisted steel wire mesh has mechanical characteristics greater than the ones recommended in EN 10223-3. The steel wire is with heavily galvanised and may also be protected with an extruded polymeric coating for greater protection.

Used on vulnerable soil slopes, exposed to erosion, Geomats immediately increases the soil’s resistance to erosion by providing an environment that enhances the growth of vegetation through the mat. Quality topsoil is brushed into the 3-d matrix of the mat following installation.

It is also used within water courses to provide hydraulic erosion protection. The  Geomats is secured to the ground using suitable pins / stakes as required in the project.

Its most common use however, is within soil nailed slopes; the soil nails provide the overall slope reinforcement with the Geomats providing surface strengthening and support between the nail heads.
