Erosion Control Mat, Three Dimensional Mat, Soil Retention Mat, Polyethylene/Polypropylene Mat, Soil Erosion, Erosion Prevention

One of the most effective methods of preventing erosion problems when constructing slopes is the planting of vegetation. Dense, deep-rooted vegetation is the best protection possible for any slope.
Erosion by water or wind can have a devastating effect on slopes, riverbanks and other exposed areas. Sedimentation can also cause extensive and costly problems in rivers, canals and blocked drainage systems.
Foliage absorbs the destructive energy of rainfall preventing the detachment of soil particles whilst the root systems can bind and restrain soil particles. Vegetation can also filter out sediment from rainwater run-off.

However, on many new developments soil can be washed or blown away before vegetation has an opportunity to establish a strong root system. After extensive research and development there is now a new solution to help with erosion prevention: TRINTER^TM / TRINTER^TM PLUS.
Trinter^TM is an erosion control net made of strong polyethylene and polypropylene. It offers permanent protection against soil erosion from the moment it is installed and is now being used extensively throughout with great success.
Easy to use, very strong and durable with a high resistance to degradation, Trinter^TM can be used on all kinds of slopes. Easily rolled out and pinned onto the slope it actually traps newly laid soil and seed, preventing it from being washed or blown away. This offers protection even before any vegetation has been established.

Trinter^TM allows germination to successfully take place, encouraging vegetation to flourish. Within several months the root system becomes interlaced with the Trinter^TM, stabilizing the top layer, allowing a strong deeper root system to establish itself over time.
The attractive green vegetation which results, not only reinforces the slope but enhances it’s a appearance and results in a healthy green environment. Trinter^TM can provide effective erosion control for many applications including:
• Road, motorway and railway cuts and fills
• River banks, channels and irrigation canals
• Reservoir embankments, dams and lagoons
• Grassed spillways
• Culvert inlet and outfalls
• Golf courses, laws and residential areas.

Trinter^TM Advantages

Strength
Trinter^TM is made using two polypropylene nets and reinforced with a third extruded polyethylene net. Pinned at regular centres, Trinter^TM has sufficient strength for use on slopes of any length and gradient.

Soil Retention
Trinter^TM mat has unique three layered corrugated structure which provides excellent soil retention properties. Testing shows that Trinter^TM clearly out performs other leading brands.


Flexibility
Trinter^TM has the necessary flexibility to mould itself to the slope face and accommodate undulations without lifting from the surface.

Soil Continuity
Trinter^TM consists of an open net structure which allows topsoil to easily pass into the composite where it is then held in place. Erosion mats with too dense a structure can prevent topsoil from passing through the product and making contact with the underlying soil. As a result the roots can fail to span over the void and the top soil can quickly dry out.

Trinter^TM allows topsoil to pass through the structure making constant contact with the underlying soil. This forms a homogeneous reinforced base necessary for quick growth of vegetation.
