What is
Turf Reinforcement?
Turf Reinforcement is a method or system by which the natural ability
of plants to protect soil from erosion is enhanced through the use
of geosynthetic materials.
Designed
for 'balanced' performance
Turf reinforcement mats are effective from the moment they
are installed, providing superior temporary erosion protection, rapid
vegetation establishment, and outstanding long term erosion resistance
to tractive forces (shear stresses) associated with high flow velocities
in steep slopes and channels.
