Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) & Geogrid

Our Curlex excelsior blankets are specifically designed to actually promote ideal growing conditions for grass seed, while simultaneously protecting topsoil from wind and water erosion. Curlex excelsior blankets have long passed the test of time. By design, Curlex blankets have a built-in swell factor — wet curled excelsior fibers slightly expand in thickness and interlock to form a strong, fiber matrix. This allows the fibers to provide intimate contact with local terrain. Water flow is trained to follow the curled fiber matrix. The roughness of the curled excelsior matrix slows the velocity to a point where gravity takes over, which allows moisture to slowly seep into the topsoil to promote ideal growing conditions.

Straw Blanket TRM

Our AEC Premier blanket manufacturing process starts with choosing only top quality, organic, weed seed free, agricultural straw fibers. A single or double net is then stitched to the topside or both sides of the blanket. A variety of nettings are available depending on your project requirements. We offer a green color-coded plastic netting for applications requiring UV resistance, strength, and longevity. Our photodegradable QuickMowTM netting is recommended for urban use and is a very popular choice on certain roadside projects. It is color-coded white to identify it as a rapid- breakdown, polypropylene netting designed for use in areas to be mowed. Also available is our FibreNetTM - 100% biodegradable netting - for use in critical environmentally sensitive areas.

Geogrid BX1100 (Type 1)

Biaxial Geogrids improve the structural integrity of roads and railways and Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls and Slopes by confining and distributing load forces.

Geogrids provide support for the construction of access roads, highways and applications on weak subgrades that previously required expensive over-excavating and replacing. Geogrids are also used for road and rail construction on stable subgrades to reduce aggregate thickness requirements and/or extend roadway performance life.

Specifications

The biaxial geogrid shall be delivered to the jobsite in roll form with each roll individually identified and nominally measuring 3.0 meters (9.8 feet) or 4.0 meters (13.1 feet) in width and 75.0 meters (246 feet) in length. A typical truckload quantity is 185 to 250 rolls.
