Enkamat R is a unitized high-performance geosynthetic that incorporates a high tenacity polyester geogrid within the entangled filaments of the three-dimensional polyamide erosion control mat.
Enkamat R can be custom made to provide various levels of reinforcement to meet any design requirements but as standard is manufactured as R45 utilizing a 45 kN/m high tenacity polyester geogrid. Enkamat R is appropriate in many areas that are subject to erosion, such as stormwater channels, watercourses, embankments, steep slopes and spillways.
