Our Range
There are four basic types, each providing unique benefits and being used for different purposes. A grout-filled mat must be placed on a stable slope. Our team takes extra care to ensure the barrier mat is trenched in at the structure’s top, bottom, and sides to prevent outflanking or undermining.
We recommend that a qualified hydraulic engineer design each project involving water flow or wave action for the local site conditions, such as stream velocity, wave heights, and ground conditions.
