Advanced Solutions for Erosion Control and Soil Reinforcement
MacMat Geomats are engineered using high-quality synthetic filaments intricately heat-tangled to form a three-dimensional, flexible, and highly porous layer, with porosity rates exceeding 90%. These geomats offer a durable and eco-friendly solution for erosion control, effectively adapting to diverse climatic conditions and environments, whether dry or wet. Their ability to integrate with natural vegetation promotes healthy root growth, while simultaneously protecting the soil surface from erosive agents like water runoff and rain impact.
For projects that require additional structural support, MacMat R combines the geomat structure with a reinforcement layer, available in double-twisted steel mesh or synthetic geogrid. This configuration provides high tensile strength and stiffness, making it ideal for complex applications such as slope stabilization, soil nailing, and protection against landslides and rockfall. The versatility of MacMat R makes it suitable for challenging scenarios, including steep slopes, coastal defenses, and high-traffic embankments.
Both MacMat and MacMat R are excellent choices for civil engineering, infrastructure, and environmental protection projects. Engineers can leverage Maccaferri’s design software ECoMac and the eDesign platform to develop customized solutions for erosion control and soil reinforcement, ensuring optimal project outcomes. Access the eDesign platform for a efficient design process tailored to your project’s specific needs.

20MW ORMOC BATTER ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM – SLOPE PROTECTION
Philippines
The new innovations of renewable energy have widely diversified in the country. One of the renewable sources is the Battery Energy Storage Systems which is part of the expanding portfolios into cleaner energy at the Philippines. The SMC Global Power Holding Corp. has proudly had its own growing Battery Storage located at Brgy. Milagro, Ormoc City, Leyte. The project site has found to be on an elevated natural slope which is around 8 meters high with an initial riprap slope protection. Since the elevated area has its battery storages, the slope must be protected and free from erosion due to high load carriage of the area. Minor erosion problem is the main concern of this project. Active Geoanchor Inc. is seeking for a cost-effective alternative solution to traditional slope protection and erosion control protection while providing a structural sound structure.

ACTIVE ROCKFALL PROTECTION IN BORONGAN
A slope collapse occurred in the area, creating immediate safety concerns for nearby infrastructure and road users. The instability of the slope increased the risk of falling debris and further soil movement, particularly during periods of rainfall. Without proper intervention, the affected area remained vulnerable to additional erosion and potential rockfall incidents, posing ongoing hazards and possible disruption to surrounding activities.

ALABANG-SUSANA HEIGHTS EXPRESSWAY WIDENING PROJECT
Philippines
The project is located in Muntinlupa City, adjacent to the Countryhomes Subdivision and directly beneath the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). This area, densely populated and highly vulnerable, faced a growing geotechnical threat due to the ongoing expansion of the expressway. Construction activities triggered noticeable ground movement, raising concerns over slope instability. Without appropriate intervention, the site posed a serious risk of slope failure or landslide, potentially endangering the lives of residents, damaging homes, and disrupting vital infrastructure. To mitigate these threats and ensure the safety of the community, a comprehensive slope stabilization system was developed and implemented. The solution focused on soil nailing technology, enhanced by a suite of high-performance geotechnical products, each selected to meet the challenging site conditions and proximity to critical infrastructure.
