Definition
A turf reinforcement mat (TRM) is a material used to stabilize soil and protect against erosion while allowing vegetation to grow through it.
Purpose
The purpose of a TRM is to provide long-term erosion control by reinforcing vegetation, improving root structure, and enhancing the stability of soil on slopes, banks, and other vulnerable areas.
Examples of Use
- Highway Embankments: TRMs are used to prevent erosion on slopes adjacent to highways.
- Riverbanks: They help stabilize riverbanks and prevent soil erosion due to water flow.
- Construction Sites: TRMs are applied to disturbed soils on construction sites to control erosion until vegetation is established.
Related Terms
- Erosion Control Blanket: A temporary material used to prevent soil erosion and support vegetation growth.
- Geotextile: A permeable fabric used to improve soil stability and drainage.
- Slope Stabilization: Techniques and materials used to prevent soil erosion and landslides on slopes.
Notes
- Installation: Proper installation of TRMs is crucial for their effectiveness in erosion control.
- Vegetation: TRMs work best when combined with appropriate vegetation, as plant roots enhance soil stability.
