Flexamat

Product Information

Flexamat is a "Tied Concrete Block Mat".

 

(Tied Concrete Block Mat is a generic term for Flexamat.)

Flexamat consists of concrete shapes, locked together with a high strength, polypropylene geogrid.  There are openings around each concrete block that give Flexamat the flexibility and enable it to be packaged in rolls.  The openings also allow vegetation to grow through the mat.  Eventually, vegetation will completely cover Flexamat.  It can be manufactured with various backings such as non-woven fabric to stop vegetation growth or a TRM (turf re-enforcement mat) depending on the soil conditions and other factors.

 

 There's a wide range of applications where Flexamat is utilized, but it is most commonly used for erosion control.  Flexamat is used to control erosion in channels, outlet protection, on slopes, for shoreline protection and many other applications.

 

Flexamat offers permanent, hard armor protection, with a natural vegetated appearance.  Flexamat may be mowed over with commercial mowing equipment or left to grow wild.  Besides grass, there are many other types of native plant species that can be planted to grow within the mat.  For example, Willow Saplings were planted through Flexamat for a streambank re-vegetation project.
