Rockfall – MacMat-HS

The Reinforced MacMat HS is a new type of geosynthetic material, primarily used in the fields of slope protection, soil and water conservation, and ecological restoration. It is composed of the following parts:

1. Material: The Reinforced MacMat is usually made of polypropylene material, which has good erosion resistance and high mechanical tensile strength.

2. Structure: Its structure is a three-dimensional geotextile mat, which is formed by integrating a double-twisted hexagonal metal mesh into a plastic three-dimensional geotextile mat using special equipment, creating a composite reinforced geotextile mat.

3. Reinforcement: In the metal mesh section, galvanized or Galfan-coated steel wires are typically used to enhance the strength and durability of the material.

4. Color: The Reinforced MacMat can be manufactured in a grass green color, which helps with the planting and growth of vegetation and also coordinates with the natural landscape.

The main characteristics of the Reinforced MacMat are as follows:

- High strength: Due to the reinforcing effect of the metal mesh, the Reinforced MacMat has a high strength, generally ranging from 35 to 50 kN/m.

- Easy to install: The installation of the Reinforced MacMat is relatively simple, requiring only the excavation of anchor trenches within the boundary of the protected area and the burial of the mat.

- Strong resistance to erosion: The Reinforced MacMat can effectively resist erosion from water and wind on the slope, protecting the soil.

- Good continuity: The continuity of the protection system is improved by binding the edges of the Reinforced MacMat with twisted steel wires or metal rings.

- Minimum waste: Due to its high strength, the Reinforced MacMat can reduce the amount of material overlap during construction, improving economic efficiency.

- Good environmental effect: The Reinforced MacMat not only protects the slope but also promotes the growth of vegetation, offering a favorable ecological effect.

In summary, the Reinforced MacMat HS is a multifunctional, efficient, and environmentally friendly geosynthetic material with a broad application prospect in fields such as slope protection, soil and water conservation, and ecological restoration.
