Long Term Erosion Control Blankets are typically made from a combination of materials found in extended term blankets and standard duty turf reinforcement mats (TRMs), to provide long term life expectancy of around 30 to 36 months. They tend to perform similarly to standard duty TRMs, operating as a great solution for the more advanced applications, such as critical slopes or higher velocity water ways.
Long term blankets made of biodegradable materials afford an economical option for erosion control. They are designed and implemented to stabilize in-situ soil, thus reducing non-point-source pollution. ECBs provide many advantages as erosion control solutions including cost, speed of implementation, ability to vegetate, and meet a variety of Longevity and performance criteria.
