Secumat controls surface eroson and helps to anchor and reinforce the root zone of plants.
It is used for slope and ground protection in civil and landfill engineering works.
Secumt helps to prevent the sliding and washing out of the soil and cover layer while facilitating rapid vegetation growth.
Upon heavy rains and water flows, the reinforcing ability of Secumat prevents erosion of the vulnerable vegetation.
Once vegetated, Secumat reduces runoff velocities and thereby increases infiltration and reduces discharge.
Secumat also protects the banks from the scouring action of water flow.
Advantages :
- Retains soil particles
- Allows uniform growth of vegetation
- Lessens slip of the soil surface
- Increases erosion protection through reinforcement
- Reduces water velocity through top soil
- Catches soil particles on the move
- Stops local settlement
Uses :
- Embankment stabilisation
- Erosion control
- Retaining of topsoil on slopes
- Road and rail construction
- Water course armouring
