Turf Reinforcement and Erosion Control:
The Winning Combination

The Vmax³ Composite Turf Reinforcement Series features a dramatic three-dimensional matting structure which permanently anchors and reinforces the root and stem systems of vegetation under shear stress of up to 14 lb / ft² (672 Pa), while the matrix materials provides effective immediate erosion control and offers exceptional mulching characteristics through all three phases of vegetation development.

The Vmax³ Composite Reinforcement Series offers you some important advantages that you can’t get with hard armor or “conventional” TRMs:

• Vmax³ mattings achieve optimum performance installed without soil in-filling, eliminating the potential for washout of fill soils and the resulting adverse effects on downstream water quality.
• Placed over the soil and seed, Vmax³ mattings offer maximum erosion protection of the underlying soil/seed before vegetation establishment, and maximum reinforcement during and after vegetation maturity.
• Vmax³ mattings offer significant cost savings over soil in-filled TRMs and traditional concrete and riprap.
• Vmax³ mattings empower vegetation to replace rock riprap and concrete in high-flow applications once considered too severe for "green" linings.
• All Vmax³ mattings meet or exceed Federal Highway Administration standards for turf reinforcement mattings.
• Vegetated channels and shorelines add natural beauty that concrete and riprap just can’t match.
• Unlike concrete or riprap, vegetated roadside channels provide a safer environment for motorists and act as a natural filter for stormwater runoff.
