Turf/Earth Reinforcement Mats
TERM
For high-load and severe erosion applications, the North American Green® P500 Turf/Earth Reinforcement Mat (TERM) is designed to offer veneer stabilization and high tensile strength for increased durability in high-impact conditions. The combination of high-strength geogrids, heavy UV-stabilized nets and a permanent polypropylene fiber matrix allow for surface vegetation without soil infilling. Unlike some woven monofilament TRMs, the stitched matrix does not impede vegetation growth.
When combined with Tensar's North American Green® Earth Anchors (EA), the P500 TERM forms a flexible armoring system that controls erosion, reinforces vegetation and stabilizes the earth in the most extreme situations.
Applications for P500 TERM System
- Roadside channels, swales or slopes where conventional TRMs are subject to damage from vehicular traffic or maintenance equipment
- Rivers and canals where TRMs are subject to damage from ice or flowing debris
- Levee protection requiring both permanent erosion control and shallow soil stability
- Shallow slope (veneer) stabilization and erosion control
- Construction of reinforced soil lifts for bioengineering stream bank protection
