What is reinforcement mat?
A turf reinforcement mat (TRM) is a rolled mat of non-degradable synthetic material that provides a matrix to greatly reinforce the root system of the desired vegetation for permanent erosion protection in high flow channels and on critical slopes.
Ground reinforcement matting is a type of geosynthetic material used to stabilize and reinforce the ground surface. It is typically made from high-strength polyethylene or polypropylene, and features a unique interlocking design that allows the mats to connect together and form a stable, continuous surface.
Advantages
Ground reinforcement matting is commonly used in applications where heavy vehicles or equipment need to traverse unstable or sensitive ground surfaces without causing damage or rutting. Examples include construction sites, temporary access roads, and event parking areas.
The mats are typically placed over a prepared sub-base or geotextile fabric, and then filled with either a suitable aggregate material or soil to provide a stable surface. Ground reinforcement matting can be easily removed and re-used, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for temporary ground stabilization needs.
In addition to its primary function of ground stabilization and reinforcement, ground reinforcement matting can also provide benefits such as improved drainage, reduced soil erosion, and increased safety for pedestrians and vehicles.
