Geomats

Geomat is a flexible, lightweight, air- and watertight geosynthetic material of a chaotic three-dimensional structure made of polypropylene fiber or other synthetic elements thermally banded together.

Key properties

• High shear stress resistance (also in water)
• Can be used in vast areas
• Can be laid on a horizontal or inclined (up to 65°) surface
• High tensile and compressive stress resistance
• Multiple-use
• Easy to lay

End uses

• Protection of slopes exposed to direct rain and storm surges
• Restoration of the fertile layer and vegetation cover
• Protection of watercourse banks with low erosion activity
• Erosion protection of watercourse bottoms

Geomats can also be a basis for geocomposites — through combination with geotextile or geogrids with a polymer coating.
