MIRAMAT® TM8

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Miramat® TM8 - the truly “total” geosynthetic erosion control mat. Miramat TM was created to serve as both an Erosion Control, Revegetation Mat (ECRM) and Turf Reinforcement Mat 1TRM).

Miramat TM’s flexible three dimensional structure is composed of monofilament yarns tufted into an open woven fabric. Miramat TM8 is thick (1.5”), highly porous, and very flexible, all of which enhance the mat’s ability to nurture vegetative growth. This unique construction produces a strong mat which is used in conjunction with topsoil and seed to create strong, durable and continuous soil/root mat matrices, and providing erosion protection, greatly enhancing the water flow resistance of vegetation.

APPLICATIONS

Geosynthetic erosion control 1GEC) mats such as Miramat TM are commonly used to line slopes, drainage swipes or channels that have been subjected to soil disturbing activities.

These mats:

protect the bore soil and fresh seed
nurture seed germination in the short-term
enhance long-term vegetation resistance to the effects of concentrated runoff.

ADVANTAGES

Miramat TM8 exhibits ground cover characteristics similar to biodegradable blankets, yet is ultraviolet stabilized to provide for a much longer useful product life than biodegradable blankets. It combines the short-term soil restraint and vegetation nurturing provided by revegetation blankets and mats, and the long-term enhancement of vegetation stability associated with reinforcement matrices. During and aher vegetation establishment, Miramat TM8’s 3-D structure traps sediments and encourages good integration of the soil/root mat with the underlying subsoil. All this while providing complete and intimate cover of the seeded subsoil surface. Its extra wide and long roll dimensions, accompanied by proper installation procedures, discourage flows under or around the mat.

Features of Miramat TM8 include:

Large 112’ wide x 100’ long) rolls
Block or green fabric
10.0% UV stabilized polypropylene
Flexible
Easy Installation
High limiting velocity and shear stresses
