About Vmax3 | Vmax3 vs. Hard Armor
Get the Vmax3 Advantage!
Why Use Vmax3 Reinforced Vegetation in Place of Hard Armor?
- Much more economical than rock or concrete at less than 1/3 the installed cost!
- Easier to install than rock or concrete and require no heavy equipment.
- Recognized and emphasized by the U.S. EPA as a preferred Best Management Practice (BMP) when compared to rock riprap in meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations.
- Unlike "hard" rock and poured concrete, Vmax3 provides "soft" protection that poses no threat to pedestrians and/or automobiles when used near travel routes.
- Provides a natural filter for runoff water by allowing infiltration, entrapping sediments and absorbing harmful pollutants. Hard armor enables little or no water infiltration and/or pollutant removal.
- Requires little maintenance other than periodic mowing. Rock riprap collects trash, supports weed growth and requires special attention when mowed around.
- Offers a flexible lining that won't crack and deteriorate like concrete.
- Provides a more natural, aesthetically pleasing and ecologically functional "green" landscape. Rock can harbor undesirable wildlife.
