Flexamat for River and Stream bank Erosion Control

Flexamat stabilizes stream and riverbanks while maintaining their natural environment. Often, willow stakes and riparian plugs are incorporated within Flexamat.  Riparian vegetation thrives within the armor. The low profile of Flexamat prevents debris or logs from catching the mat and helps keep the waterway open to positive flow. 

Wildlife can safely cross Flexamat.  The matting also helps provide a stable walking surface if using the shoreline as an entry point for canoes or kayaks.

Often, working within the stream or river may not be possible.  The compact roll design enables Flexamat to be installed from an excavator sitting within the right-of-way.

Flexamat helps Flood Erosion Control

Flexamat plays a vital role in flood control throughout North America. Water management and flood control districts utilize Flexamat in critical areas such as major metropolitan centers and rural areas.   Federal agencies, including FEMA and the USACE, have incorporated Flexamat into large-scale flood management projects.  Flexamat prevents erosion in areas exposed to high flow, waves, or burrowing animals. There are numerous projects throughout the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that have withstood multiple hurricanes and tropical storms, performing as designed.  Hurricane Harvey subjected over one million square feet of Flexamat to a 1000-year flood event.  Flexamat performed well across the hardest-hit areas.

Vegetation grows through the system, providing an environmentally friendly solution that wildlife can safely walk across. Flexamat is simple to install with the material packaged in rolls.  The rolls are manufactured to site-specific lengths. A small crew can install thousands of feet in a single day.  The compact rolls also equate to smaller staging areas.   Many of our installations pass through residential areas where access is constricted. Flexamat rolls make these areas much easier to work in compared to other systems.

Flexamat offers Landfill Erosion Control Solution

Flexamat is the solution to erosion, which is a common landfill drainage problem.  It is used to armor landfill letdowns, perimeter ditches, and spillways from erosion.   Flexamat can be driven across with vehicles and equipment where access roads intersect armored areas.

Flexamat is locked in place and can't be displaced like rock rip rap.   It offers a vegetated solution that can be maintained with commercial mowing equipment. It allows storm water infiltration and provides energy dissipation.

Flexamat for Shoreline Erosion Control

Flexamat offers a permanent solution to stop shoreline erosion while aesthetically conforming to the landscape. Flexamat stops erosion caused by waves, ice, burrowing of muskrats/nutria and erosion caused by fish, such as Tillapia.  Flexamat enables safe maintenance of the shoreline.  Commercial mowers may be used over Flexamat or allow native vegetation can grow wild. 

Flexamat enhances safety.  Steep eroded banks make it hazardous to maintain or even walk along the shoreline.   Many municipalities have regulations that ensure minimum slope requirements.  Flexamat helps provide a stable walking surface if using the shoreline as an entry point for canoes or kayaks. Eroding sediment from shorelines is a major source of pollution.  The eroded sediment has many negative impacts with natural ecosystems, such as making the water shallow, which can lead to artificially warmer water temperatures. Flexamat re-enforces natural vegetation and locks the shoreline permanently in place.
