Maximum Erosion Protection
- Vmax3 Composite TRMs are surface-applied to provide the highest level of erosion protection at the lowest cost. Many conventional TRMs require costly soil-infilling, which is extremely vulnerable to erosion. Not to mention the potential loss of seed and thus, the inability to establish vegetation.
- The Vmax3 unique corrugated permanent matting structure forms a shear plane perpendicular to water flow to deflect erosive hydraulic forces away from the soil surface.
- Unlike conventional open-structured TRMs, the Vmax3 natural or synthetic fiber matrix shields soil from the erosive forces of raindrop impact and prevents shear stress extraction of soil particles from or through the matting structure.
Maximum Vegetation Establishment
- Unlike conventional open-structured TRMs, fiber matrix better regulates moisture and temperature for maximum seed germination and plant development.
- The Vmax3 corrugated matting structure deflects shear forces away from newly planted seed and structurally reinforces seedlings.
Maximum Vegetation Reinforcement
- The Vmax3 high strength, 3-D matting structure fortifies both stem and root systems for the ultimate in vegetation reinforcement.
- UV stabilized synthetic matting structure maintains strength and integrity even under long-term exposure to sunlight.
- High strength matting structure resists damages from natural and man-made forces such as heavy foot, maintenance equipment and vehicular traffic.
- The permanent matting structure of all three Vmax3 products (without degradable organic fiber matrix) exceeds FHWA FP- 03 standards for TRMs.
