ForTex Mat Erosion Control Products, which are manufactured by knitting and threading polyester strings, are used for preventing surface erosion that wind and water might cause before plantation on slope surfaces.
Fields of Application and Use
They are fastened to the properly-prepared ground over the slopes by using anchor rods in J shape. The materials are fastened to the top and bottom of the slope through the top and bottom anchor trenches created. The main purpose is to ensure that the plant, ForTex Mat and the ground exist in harmony together as a composite structure by providing planting on the surface.
