Maccaferri® Macmat R® turf reinforcement mat is a three-dimensional geocomposite. It is reinforced with a double twist steel wire mesh to provide tensile mechanical strength and erosion protection, ensuring the stability of roadways, embankments, drainage ditches, channels and other areas susceptible to erosion damages.
Macmat R is available in various styles and thickness to meet the needs for several different applications.

WHY CHOOSE MACMAT R?
- Steel reinforcement provides stability to the mat and subsoil for better surface protection of very steep slopes where the soil cover is limited
- Provides up to 200kN/m strength resistance in soil reinforcement applications
- Combined use of a geocomposite reduces installation costs by 50%
- Continuity of lining is easily achieved by lacing the edges together with binding wire or metal rings without overlapping
- Protects seeded topsoil from washout and encourages vegetation

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
