Pre-sown Geomats and Pre-seeded anti-erosion Geocomposites

Advanced Protection for Banks and Hydraulic Structures

Managing riverbanks, canals, and hydraulic structures presents unique challenges due to water erosion and frequent flooding, threatening soil stability and surrounding infrastructure.

The Virmat geomats and RecsViresco geocomposites are specifically designed to tackle these issues. Combining mechanical strength with vegetative support effectively protects against landslides, runoff, and erosion, even in highly complex conditions.

The pre-seeded matrix ensures uniform vegetation coverage, which is critical for soil consolidation and landscape integration of hydraulic structures.

Virmat and Virmat L – Anti-Erosion Geomats for Every Slope

Virmat is the industry standard for stabilising steep terrains with up to 65-degree inclines. Its high-strength polypropylene structure, combined with pre-sown seeds and selected fertilisers, ensures rapid and uniform greening while preventing landslides.

Virmat L offers a lighter, more manageable solution for moderate slopes up to 55 degrees. It is ideal for landscaping and hard-to-reach areas and ensures effective soil protection and greening.

RecsViresco – Innovative Geocomposite for Erosion Control

RecsViresco is a cutting-edge geocomposite designed for long-lasting erosion protection and greening on slopes between 60 and 70 degrees. Its multi-layer system, combining a double-twist metal mesh and a biodegradable pre-sown biomat, ensures immediate mechanical stability and uniform vegetation growth.

This multilayer system is ideal for complex applications in natural engineering, landscape architecture, and environmental restoration, where it provides effective protection against runoff, preventing landslides and erosion phenomena. In the case of watercourses, it also prevents animals from intruding into the substrate, which can sometimes lead to soil weakening.

Successful Projects: Our Geomats and Geocomposites in Action

Virens solutions have proven their effectiveness in complex contexts, turning engineering challenges into tangible results.

In an urban revegetation project, the Virmat geomat ensured the stability of a slope in a particularly delicate redevelopment effort, providing uniform greening and transforming a critical area into a safe, green surface.

In the section dedicated to a city park, Virmat offered a perfect balance between structural strength and aesthetic enhancement, blending harmoniously into the surroundings and improving the usability of the public space.

Another significant example is the use of RecsViresco for the consolidation and revegetation of a roadside slope with extreme inclines and erosion issues. Its multilayer structure ensured immediate stability, prevented landslides, and promoted uniform vegetative growth, all with minimal environmental impact.
