Geomat might be made of polymer materials, such as polypropylene or polyethylene but this material is beneficial in the construction world, especially for the environment. Let’s find out further about a few benefits of this material.
Essential for Soil Conservation
The biggest benefit of this material cannot be separated from soil conservation. It can help reduce water erosion, stabilize soil structure, promote plant growth, prevent soil erosion, and improve soil permeability. Since it provides support for vegetation roots, as well as prevents soil loss due to water runoff, this material can play a great role to protect soil and enhance the environment.
Promote Plant Growth
Plants can grow better with the support of this material. It can protect not only the plants but also the seeds and roots. Do not forget that the plants can grow easily through the nets so it will not have any problem growing under the protection of this material.
Erosion Control
Geomat is perfect to control erosion on embankments and slopes since these areas are prone to damage due to water runoff. It will become a barrier that will stabilize the soil by anchoring the soil in place for a long term.
Protection for Linear Infrastructure Projects
This material is also used a lot as protective and strengthening agents during the linear infrastructure projects, such as building roads, railroads, or drainages. It is useful for protecting those projects from erosion and deformation due to the traffic loads, temperature changes, and water erosion. Installing this net is also great to give additional strength to the structure built on the top of it.
Other Applications of Geomat
One thing is for sure, the geosynthetic material can be applied for various types of slopes either the natural or artificial ones. Geomat is great to be used to prevent erosion on the slopes of highways and make it look more beautiful at the same time. Geomat is also useful to help mine land reclamation and prevent pollution.
Specific types of this material are also used for special applications. Many fire protection projects use fireproof type materials a lot. Meanwhile, the permeable type is used for a sustainable drainage system. This material is often combined with other geosynthetic materials to meet the need of specific projects, after all.
Extreme slopes can suffer from erosion easily, but it can be prevented by applying this material. Of course, it is also useful to prevent landslides. By applying this net on the river banks, river bank erosion can be prevented and the water quality can be enhanced.
How to Install Geomat
Some steps must be taken to install this geosynthetic material. The very first step to take is to prepare the land. Unwanted plants must be eliminated while the land surface must be flattened. Next, the material can be installed by spreading it out on the land surface and securing it using pegs.
Now the Geomat has been installed and you can plant the seeds or seedlings over it. Last but not least, you can simply maintain your plants as usual by watering and fertilizing them.
