The innovative erosion control mat that’s good for farmer, the land and the waterways!
Farmers depend on the land.
Healthy well-maintained land, waterways and access roads are key components for growing fruitful crops, grazing livestock on healthy pastures, but also protecting the environment and sustaining agriculture for future generations.
Erosion has been a key priority for farmers and land managers for decades.
Flowing water and hard rains can wear soil away.
When displaced, soil lands in steams and road ditches.
That’s why farmers need to take measures to manage their land.
A solution has been developed to help overcome some of these issues.
Australian Concrete Mats (ACM) have engineered a flexible, simple, cost-efficient, sustainable long-term solution to help erosion and stabilisation issues.
The concrete erosion mats are effective in a
multitude of scenarios:
- as a hard, stable surface for driveways, access roads, and low creek crossings
- as protection and stabilisation for drainage channels and to prevent scouring on dam spillways and overflow channels
- the erosion control mat has strong polyester geogrid embedded into concrete shapes and
- the textured concrete helps to aerate and slow the flow of water
The space between the shapes allows vegetation to grow through the mat and helps anchor the mat to the soil, while also offering filtration of fine silt particles from entering the waterways.
Concrete mats are supplied in rolls, that are easy to handle and quick to install, using equipment many land managers already have on their property.
Once put in place, the mats are simply unrolled into position, and they start
working right away!
Maintaining the vegetation growth is safe because vehicles can drive over the hard stand surface and you can mow over it with a tractor slasher.
This innovative mat offers permanent stabilisation for water edges, dams, creeks and low water access areas, water channels and gullys and anywhere that ground stabilisation is required, or erosion could present an issue on the landscape.
