STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS

ArmorMax is used for Structural Applications to provide surficial slope stabilization to resist shallow plane instability.   A shallow plane failure occurs when sloughing of near-surface soils descend down moderate to steep slopes. ArmorMax is an engineered solution that provides a higher factor of safety, erosion protection and superior surficial strength.

  • The system is comprised of a High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat (HPTRM) and Type B2 or B3 earth percussion anchors as specified by the project engineer
  • HPTRM provides erosion protection and surficial strength allowing rapid vegetation growth keeping soil in place to resist movement
  • Earth percussion anchors installed below the failure plane secure the HPTRM to the subgrade and tie soil mass together to provide stability
  • An easy-to-install, more cost-effective alternative to rock slope protection and soil nailing with shotcrete
  • Engineered vegetated solution that is more environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing
