Geomat Virmat: rapid vegetation growth for slope protection

Virmat’s innovative design is well-suited to challenging terrains, featuring a combination of polypropylene grids and a pre-seeded, biodegradable textile that fosters rapid vegetation growth on slopes as steep as 65°. This advanced solution provides effective landscape stabilisation, enhances soil structure, and establishes a new geotechnical engineering and slope reinforcement benchmark.

The lightweight yet sturdy construction ensures superior stress resistance, safeguards seeds, and supports root anchorage while preserving essential soil moisture for seed germination. Virmat’s integration of durability and adaptability makes it a leading choice for soil stabilisation and vegetation enhancement, offering a reliable method for establishing robust, verdant spaces.

Virmat: applications

  • Slopes of significant height: its robust structure supports vegetation on tall slopes, ensuring stability and erosion control.
  • Very steep slope stabilisation: Virmat’s design allows for successful application and vegetation growth on slopes with extreme inclines.
  • Places exposed to erosion caused by water and wind
  • Banks and beds of streams: it offers protection and stabilisation for the fragile environments of stream banks and beds.
  • Very friable slopes: the product ensures stability and vegetation growth on loose, easily eroded soils.
  • Poor soils: Virmat’s nutrient-enriched biotextile facilitates vegetation on nutrient-poor soils.
  • Poorly irrigated slopes: its moisture-retaining features make it suitable for slopes that receive inadequate irrigation.

Through the adoption of innovative design principles, areas formerly prone to erosion have been re-established as centres of biodiversity and flourishing greenery.

Virmat Advantages
