Enkamat® A20

Enkamat A20 is a three dimensional polyamide mat with an open structure prefilled with a bitumen-bound mineral filter of stone chippings.

When laid on grass seeded soil slopes which are exposed to water, Enkamat A20 provides a permanent solution to issues caused by hydraulic stress in areas where natural erosion would otherwise have prevailed. The product allows the area to become fully vegetated with the appearance of a grass channel. Enkamat A20 offers immediate erosion protection from high water velocities and small wave attack.

Functions

• Water erosion protection

• Resistance to high water velocities

Application areas

• Riverbanks

• Lakes

• Canals

• Reservoirs

• Channels

• Dykes

• Overflow protection zones

• Culverts

• Other surfaces permanently subjected to water impact

Features and benefits

• A permanent solution

• Reinforces vegetation root systems

• Resists high water velocities

• Ensures no hydrostatic pressure build-up behind the protected slopes

• Faster to install than traditional protection systems

• An integrated and robust erosion solution

• Enables root systems to grow and green shoots to sprout through the mat

• Flexible, easily following the profile of the ground surface

• Ensures a natural aesthetic appearance

• No maintenance necessary

• Firmly locked to the ground by the root system
