Armorform - Articulating Block Mat
Articulating Block Mat is formed with a double-layer woven fabric, joined together into a matrix of rectangular compartments, each separated by a narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric and containing interconnecting high-strength revetment cables. Similar to precast block mats, once pumped, the ABM is designed to permit differential settling and block articulation.
Form a mattress of individual blocks in a bonded block pattern. The revetment cables become embedded in the blocks to tie the blocks together and resist tension in all directions. The patented separate cable duct design assures that the revetment cables will be positioned securely in the center of each block. Relief of hydrostatic uplift pressure is provided through the narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric after the grout has hardened. ABM is custom fabricated into multiple mill-width panels, designed to fit the actual site dimensions and topography.
