Nilex Turf Reinforcement Mats provide long-term erosion protection. They also assist in the establishment of vegetation while permanently reinforcing vegetation for applications where the forces exerted by water and wind exceed the shear limits of unreinforced vegetation.
Typical applications include high flow channels, streambanks, shorelines and other areas where rock riprap would typically be used. Nilex TRMs provide significant cost savings over rock riprap as well as aesthetic benefits. TRMs can eliminate the need to quarry, process and haul rock providing huge environmental benefits to any project.
Nilex TRMs are constructed around a permanent, non-degradable, three-dimensional matting structure and consist of either 100% synthetic components or a combination of synthetic and natural ingredients.
