    THE ORIGINAL MULTIFUNCTIONAL GEOMAT


    Used in countless infrastructure and river Erosion of soil from embankments and channels becomes
    critical when it results in damage to infrastructure or leads
    works worldwide, MacMat® R provides surface
    to the pollution of water courses. Relying on vegetation
    stabilisation, erosion protection and root growth alone to provide surface protection is unreliable as
    reinforcement in one, easy to install product. it is difficult to achieve 100% vegetation coverage, leaving
    exposed areas vulnerable to erosion.
    Now improved with greater tensile strength,
    greater punch resistance and a new green MacMat® R consists of a 3D matrix of UV stabilised
    polymer fibres extruded onto Maccaferri’s polymer coated
    erosion mat.
    steel wire woven mesh. This unique one-piece geomat
    is simple to install, long lasting and has high puncture
    resistance.

    Vegetation establishment
    MacMat® R is plant friendly. It physically protects
    vulnerable soil surfaces, reducing erosion and encouraging
    vegetation establishment. MacMat® R easily accepts
    hydroseeding and shrub planting where more rapid
    colonisation is required.

    Low wastage
    Unlike other geomats, adjacent panels of MacMat® R
    MacMat® R do not need to be over-lapped. The integral steel mesh
    means panels can be ‘butt-jointed’ together using fixing
    rings or lacing wire.
    MacMat® has achieved an Environmental Product
    Declaration which provides transparent, reliable and
    comparable life cycle environmental data.

    Advantages of MacMat® R
    Provides immediate erosion protection of exposed
    areas
    Spreads loads between soil-nail heads in slope

    Primary uses of MacMat® R The mechanical properties of MacMat® R woven steel

    Slope reinforcement with soil nails 10223-3. To provide reliable long-term performance, the
    MacMat® R is used extensively on soil nailed slopes mesh is protected with GalMac® galvanising (Class A in
    especially within the railway and highway sectors. The accordance with EN 10244-2) with an additional tough
    nails reinforce the overall slope and the MacMat® R polymeric coating for a longer design life in aggressive
    stabilises the slope surface. Any forces from local surface conditions.
    slip failures are transferred back to the nail heads. A
    high puncture resistance at low deflection is a vital
    characteristic for successful implementations.
