Slopetame2 is a permanent three-dimensional reinforcement and stabilization matrix for steep vegetated slopes and channel banks. The integral rings, bars, grid, and fabric act to contain upper root zone soils, allow vegetation roots to easily pass through, and minimize movement and loss by rain or flowing water. Slopetame2 is shipped in roll form, with connections allowing rolls to be fastened together forming one large continuous mat covering the entire face of long slopes. Rolls can also be pre-vegetated by vibrating sod into rings (or growing custom plant mixes in mat by contract), to allow mats to be placed and anchored to slopes with established root systems, able to withstand intense rainfall or water flowing immediately. Holes can be cut in the mat to provide for large containerized or balled plant material.
Applications Include:
- Steep Slope Erosion Control
- Channel Engergy Dissipation
- Vegetated Swales and Strips
- Channel Bank Stabilization
- Infiltration Trenches
