TENAX TENWEB geocells allow for the stabilization of the topsoil even on very steep slopes, ensuring the lateral confinement of the slope itself. Once opened to their maximum extension and filled in with lightly compacted topsoil, a stable planting structure is formed.
The surface of this layer can be further protected against superficial erosion through the use of geomats or biodegradable mats.
When eroded slopes are made from soft rocks and exhibit an unstable combination of loose rocks mixed with finer material, it’s necessary to build a secure system capable of preventing the detachment of the heavier and larger sized material and simultaneously retaining any growing medium.
TENAX MS multi-layer geomats are particularly useful in this situation due to their high tensile strength and their dense mesh structure that is capable of molding itself to the foundation profile. This provides an effective containment system for the grassed areas, protecting the latter from erosive phenomena associated with precipitation or with non-channelled flowing waters.
