GeoMats

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.
