provide immediate erosion protection and long-term site armoring. TRMs assist in the establishment of vegetation while permanently reinforcing vegetation for applications where the forces exerted by water exceed the shear limits of unreinforced vegetation. Typical applications include high flow channels, streambanks, shorelines and other areas where rock riprap have typically been used. Nilex's TRMs provide significant cost savings over rock riprap. TRMs can eliminate the need to quarry, process and haul rock providing significant environmental and aesthetics benefits to any project.
