Large impervious surfaces formed by runways, taxiways and terminals create considerable stormwater runoff.  Traditional erosion control measures are not possible in areas adjacent to taxiways and runways.  Erosion control blankets and turf reinforcement mats are not permitted due to the threat of the material getting sucked into jet engines.  Rock rip rap does not meet FAA height restrictions within the obstacle free area (OFA).

Flexamat^® plays a vital role in flood control throughout North America. Water management and flood control districts utilize Flexamat^® in critical areas such as major metropolitan centers and rural areas.  Federal agencies, including FEMA and the USACE, have incorporated Flexamat^® into large-scale flood management projects.  Flexamat^® prevents erosion in areas exposed to high flow, waves, or burrowing animals.

Flexamat^® offers a permanent solution to roadside erosion. Flexamat^® is utilized on new highway construction and by the maintenance departments for repairs. Flexamat^® rolls are easily installed by highway and county personnel using existing equipment.

Flexamat provides a stable driving surface for access roads, boat ramps, low water crossings and parking areas. It is frequently used by energy and utility companies for low water maintenance crossings at wind farms and other remote sites.  Flexamat^® is extremely durable consisting of 5000 PSI concrete blocks which are re-enforced with a high strength geogrid. Flexamat^® can withstand the weight of 80,000 lbs. vehicles. It can be used as a vegetated driving surface or infilled with crushed stone. Space between the blocks allows for infiltration of storm water.

In the energy sector, Flexamat is the solution for a wide range of issues.  Flexamat is used for permanent slope protection around substations.  At oil and gas drill pad sites, Flexamat is used for armoring perimeter ditches, letdown structures, spillways, and for perimeter runoff dissipation. Flexamat is used to repair pipeline exposures for numerous vital pipelines across North America. It is frequently used by energy and utility companies for low water maintenance crossings at wind farms and other remote sites. On solar farms, Flexamat provides locked in place protection for drainage around solar panels. Fracking wastewater lagoons utilize Flexamat for shoreline protection.  Coal ash landfills have letdowns structures are armored with Flexamat. At these vital sites, long term performance is necessary.

Flexamat provides the best solution for inlet and outlet protection at storm water pipes. Flexamat is locked in place and can`t be displaced like rock rip rap.  It offers a vegetated solution that can be maintained with commercial mowing equipment. Flexamat<sup>®</sup>   is safe for both pedestrians and wildlife to walk across. It allows storm water infiltration and provides energy dissipation. Flexamat<sup>®</sup> blends with the landscape and is not a potential surface for graffiti.  High performance the moment it`s installed, un-vegetated capabilities of 30ft./sec. & 24 PSF!

Flexamat is the solution to erosion, which is a common landfill drainage problem.  It is used to armor landfill letdowns, perimeter ditches, and spillways from erosion.  Flexamat can be driven across with vehicles and equipment where access roads intersect armored areas.

Flexamat stabilizes stream and riverbanks while maintaining their natural environment. Often, willow stakes and riparian plugs are incorporated within Flexamat.  Riparian vegetation thrives within the armor. The low profile of Flexamat^® prevents debris or logs from catching the mat and helps keep the waterway open to positive flow. 

Schools typically have large buildings and parking lots that create considerable storm water runoff. These impervious surfaces make storm water outlets, drainage ditches and detention/retention areas necessary. These areas with concentrated flows are compounded with frequent disturbance by maintenance equipment that can lead to erosion issues. Flexamat^® offers a permanent solution for these areas.
