Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECP) may be in the form of biodegradable jute or coir matting. However, for more critical designs, engineered synthetic erosion mats for vegetated channels and slopes may also be adopted.
Key Learnings
- The different types of rolled erosion control products in the marketplace

- The evolution of synthetic TRMs over time
- The importance of revegetation for shear resistance and surface stability
- Common applications using RECPs, including channels and slopes
- Design tools, the RUSLE approach and typical installation guidelines
