Lithgow City Council needed to conduct temporary emergency works to protect a landslip from blocking the road over the busy Christmas holidays.
EROmasta® 3D/3L & 3D/5L is a synthetic turf reinforcement mat, which protects underlying soil from erosion and provides a reinforcing matrix for vegetative root growth.
It is a three or five multi-layered product manufactured from polyethylene. It consists of two high tensile base layers of net bonded between three to five upper layers that form a cuspated surface that provides an array of pockets that trap the soil particles and windblown seeds.
EROmasta®3D/3L & 3D/5L when installed gives instant protection against soil erosion caused by wind, rain and flash flooding. Top soil and seed is applied on top of the erosion mat to fill the pockets and allow the grass to grow through the mat. The established vegetation has now a reinforced root system resistant to the forces of erosion. Suitable for slopes up to 1:0.7, with grass or local vegetation surface. Not suitable for use under permanent or seasonal water levels.
EROmasta® 3D/3L & 3D/5L multi layered structure combined with its flat, high modulus base layer, provides the following benefits:
In addition the upper cuspated pockets provide the following benefits:
