MacMat R® is a high-performance, three-dimensional turf reinforcement mat (TRM) engineered for superior erosion protection and long-term slope stability. Uniquely reinforced with double-twist steel wire mesh, MacMat R delivers exceptional tensile strength, making it ideal for demanding applications where traditional erosion control solutions fall short.
Designed to promote natural vegetation growth while resisting surface erosion, MacMat R combines the benefits of synthetic matting and steel reinforcement in one robust geocomposite. Its open structure allows vegetation to establish, creating a green, environmentally friendly solution.
It is ideal for roadway embankments, drainage channels and ditches, slopes, riverbanks and channels, and any other areas that are prone to erosion.
MacMat R is available in a range of styles and thicknesses to suit a variety of applications.

WHY CHOOSE MACMAT R GEOCOMPOSITE MAT?
- Steel reinforcement provides stability to the mat and subsoil for better surface protection of very steep slopes where the soil cover is limited
- Provides up to 200kN/m strength resistance in soil reinforcement applications
- Combined use of a geocomposite reduces installation costs by 50%
- Continuity of lining is easily achieved by lacing the edges together with binding wire or metal rings without overlapping
- Protects seeded topsoil from washout and encourages vegetation

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
