Geomats Are Becoming More And More Popular
Geomats were used mainly for applications in agriculture in the past but now they are increasingly more common for residential, corporate and industrial purposes. The geomat is made with the use of different permeable synthetic materials like polypropylene and polymer. Mixtures are also possible.
Why Are Geomats Becoming Popular?
Ever since the industrial era erosion became a really big problem. Through irregular water dispensing, interrupted navigation, poor revegetation and thinner soil layers erosion caused various problems. Agricultural land is affected, leading to poor vegetation. The geomat was initially introduced in order to increase revegetation and reduce erosion in lands that were eroded. After some time it was proven that the geomat can also serve other purposes. We thus see them used in much more than agriculture. It also has vegetation and plantation purposes in areas like homes, offices and industries.
Geomat gradient and design will always depend on slope steepness and size, with land quality also playing an important factor. It is chemically and microbiologically inert. Installation is easy and handling is simple. This makes geomats popular in areas where land layering and soil erosion have to be controlled. Erosion control is made for a reinforced geogrid creation while polyethylene makes it easier for roots to go deeper and be stronger. The gemats are going to make it easier for plants to grow.
On the whole, the geomat stands out as an eco-friendly option that prevents erosion and increases revegetation speed through the creation of a surface that is properly resistant to water erosive effects. When compared with the unprotected banks, they will reduce erosion by around fifty percent.
Geomat Uses
Modern geomats can be utilized for various applications like protecting soil and vegetation from the effects of erosion. Application style and design will depend on size, slope, type and moisture we find in land. Besides this, you can also consider the following uses:
- Protecting bare land or soil against erosion.
- Ensuring faster revegetation.
- Ensuring revegetation in regions where bush cover root systems or grass was damaged.
- Soil erosion is reduced by fifty percent when built before erosion happens. In land that is unprotected erosion chances stand out as being 50% higher.
- The surface of the geomat is stable so protection against water effects erosion is gained.
- Geomats can be used in areas with mineral dense water.
- A geomat can retain water in an effective way in streams, pipelines and canals. It is possible through water flow dispersing through an equal way while kinetic energy is reduced.
- Root layers are strengthened as soil interface is reinforced.
- Because of high tensile strength the geomat will be able to withstand really heavy water flow. Small to large particles displacement can be prevented. Erosion is also reduced in regions that are exposed to hydraulic engineering effects.
- Long term reinforcement is gained as time passes. A thick soil layer will be retained through geomats on slopes that are non-water permeable. The technology has a really good stabilization effect on soil layer surface as re-cultivation is needed.
