Erosion control biodegradable mat ENKAMAT® A20

three-dimensionalpolyamidefor river banks

Enkamat A20 is a three dimensional polyamide mat with an open structure prefilled with a bitumen-bound mineral filter of stone chippings. When laid on grass seeded soil slopes which are exposed to water, Enkamat A20 provides a permanent solution to issues caused by hydraulic stress in areas where natural erosion would otherwise have prevailed. The product allows the area to become fully vegetated with the appearance of a grass channel. Enkamat A20 offers immediate erosion protection from high water velocities and small wave attack. Functions • Water erosion protection • Resistance to high water velocities Application areas • Riverbanks • Lakes • Canals • Reservoirs • Channels • Dykes • Overflow protection zones • Culverts • Other surfaces permanently subjected to water impact Features and benefits • A permanent solution • Reinforces vegetation root systems • Resists high water velocities • Ensures no hydrostatic pressure build-up behind the protected slopes • Faster to install than traditional protection systems • An integrated and robust erosion solution • Enables root systems to grow and green shoots to sprout through the mat • Flexible, easily following the profile of the ground surface • Ensures a natural aesthetic appearance • No maintenance necessary • Firmly locked to the ground by the root system
