3D Erosion control mat

Erosion control for
embankments and slopes
To protect new or repaired embankments
from erosion, standard Enkamat is used.
Various types of slopes, such as road
and railway embankments or spillways
can be protected.
Enkamat, either seeded and filled with
topsoil, hydroseeded or mulched after
installation, keeps the fertile soil and
germinating seeds in place, preventing
the fill from being
washed out by heavy
rain and encouraging
active plant growth.
Vulnerable areas, at
risk of damage by
rain or wind, are thus
transformed into
stable, fully grown,
green surfaces with
no need for
maintenance after
installation.
Standard Enkamat with proper filling is
the most efficient, but Enkamat may also
– under special circumstances – be
installed unfilled. The matting must then
be secured with extra pegs to ensure firm
contact with the subsoil.
For the highest level of immediate
protection on dry slopes, Colbond
recommends the use of Enkamat J,
which has the additional protection of a
biodegradable geotextile layer.
