Permanent Erosion Contorl Mats

 Pyramat HPTRM_Brochure        Pyramat HPTRM and TRM Installation Guide

 

Pyramat High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) feature our patented woven technology composed of a unique, three-dimensional matrix of polypropylene yarns. These yarns are designed in a uniform, dimensionally stable and homogenous configuration of pyramid-like structures, and they feature our patented X3 fiber technology specially created to lock soil in place. HPTRMs exhibit extremely high tensile strength as well as superior interlock and reinforcement capacity with both soil and root systems. They stand up to the toughest erosion applications where high loading and/or high survivability conditions are required, including maintenance access, steep slopes, arid and semi-arid environments, pipe inlets and outlets, structural backfills, utility cuts, potential traffic areas, abrasion, high-flow channels and/or areas where greater factors of safety are desired. Pyramat's superior characteristics provide a longer design life than our first and second generation standard TRMs, and meet the definition of HPTRM as defined by the U.S. EPA Storm Water Fact Sheet, "Turf Reinforcement Mats" (EPA 832-F-99-002) and FHWA FP-03 Specifications Section 713.8.

                                                                                        

Features & Benefits
A unique, patented matrix of pyramids formed with X3 fibers that gridlocks soil in place under unvegetated, partially vegetated and high-flow conditions Ideal for extended ultraviolet (UV) exposure, utility cuts, maintenance equipment traffic, pipe inlets and outlets and other high loadings
X3 cross-sectional area for additional tensile strength, flexibility and seedling emergence
- Holds seed and soil in place on channels and slopes while vegetation grows
- Provides permanent reinforcement to enhance vegetation's natural ability to filter soil
      particles and prevent soil loss during storm events

- Vegetation solution providing more pleasing aesthetics than conventional methods
      (i.e. rock riprap and concrete paving)
- Greater flexibility to maintain intimate contact with subgrade, resulting in rapid seedling
      emergence and minimal soil loss
- Can be used in arid and semi-arid environments
- Completely interconnected yarns that provide superior UV resistance throughout the HPTRM
- Superior product testing, performance and design life

 

Landlok Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) TRM 450, TRM 435

Landlok TRM_Brochure

 

Our Landlok Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) are the industry's most advanced solutions for applications requiring immediate, long-term erosion protection, vegetative reinforcement and water quality enhancement capabilities. Our first generation TRMs are constructed of a dense web of 100% polypropylene fibers positioned between two biaxially oriented nets. When vegetated, they provide twice the erosion
protection of vegetation alone. Now we've taken the same woven technology in our High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) and used it to design the next generation of TRMs. These netless, composite-free three-dimensional second generation TRMs feature a rugged material construction that combines superior tensile strength, flexibility and UV stability. This allows them to deliver better, long-term performance over traditional methods like rock riprap and concrete paving and increased design life over first generation netted, fused, glued or stitch-bonded TRMs. All Landlok TRMs feature our patented X3 fiber technology, which provides 40% greater surface area for trapping and protecting seed and soil.

1 st GENERATION LANDLOK TRMs FEATURES & BENEFITS
Provides permanent turf reinforcement to enhance vegetation's natural
ability to filter soil particles and prevent soil loss during storm events
100% synthetic and UV-stabilized components
Utilizes X3 fiber technology for up to 40% greater surface area to protect
emerging seedlings and sediment retention
More aesthetically pleasing than conventional methods (i.e. rock riprap
and concrete paving)
Superior product testing and performance
Easier installation than conventional solutions (no heavy
equipment required)

 

2 nd GENERATION LANDLOK WOVER TRMs FEATURES & BENEFITS
All the features and benefits of first generation Landlok TRMs, plus:
A unique, patented matrix of pyramids formed with X3 fibers that
gridlocks soil in place under high-flow conditions
3-D woven material with superior tensile strength for loading and/or
survivability requirements
Greater flexibility to maintain intimate contact with subgrade, resulting
in rapid seedling emergence and minimal soil loss
Completely interconnected yarns that provide superior UV resistance
throughout the TRM
A combination of superior characteristics for long-term performance
and a longer design life than first generation Landlok TRMs

 

 

Outperforms and is more cost-effective than conventional erosion control methods, including:
Rock riprap
Concrete paving
