Proper Installation of Turf Reinforcement Mats, High-Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats and Anchored Systems in Erosion Control Applications

Course Information

Erosion control solutions are a pivotal part of earthwork projects and site development. Whether being used for newly constructed roadway side slopes or remediating existing channels after seemingly more frequent rainfall events, Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) and High-Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) are versatile nature-based solutions for various erosion control applications. While overall design and historical performance of a solution are important, installation is critical. Achieving the expected performance from TRMs and HPTRMs starts with a proper installation.

This article presents the best practices for installation of TRMs, HPTRMs and Anchored HPTRM systems in erosion control applications.
