Product catalog summary
Introduction
Enkamat® Root Reinforcement Matrix (R2M) is a versatile solution for erosion control across various landscapes such as slopes, embankments, landfills, shorelines, and more. It anchors natural vegetation, enhancing performance on steep slopes and under high water velocity conditions.

Enkamat Technology
Introduced in the 1970s, Enkamat technology set standards for erosion control products with its conformability, durability, and performance. Its 95% open structure allows unrestricted vegetative growth, creating a stable cover by intertwining roots with the mat.

Green Engineering
Green engineering aims to improve environmental quality by combining science and technology with environmentally conscious principles. Enkamat aids in reducing soil erosion, filtering pollutants, recharging groundwater, and enhancing ecosystems.

Environmental Benefits
Enkamat addresses soil erosion and sedimentation issues, especially during construction phases. It aligns with the EPA’s Clean Water Act, promoting best management practices for erosion control. Enkamat is designed to support wetland plants and native species.

Performance and Installation
Enkamat maintains structural integrity when cut, unlike some competitive products. It resists shear forces from hydraulic loading and is made from nylon, ensuring it does not float. Key considerations include soil characteristics, slope gradient, and water runoff.

Comparison with Temporary Erosion Control
Unlike temporary solutions, Enkamat provides permanent protection, improving over time with vegetation establishment. It enhances the permissible shear of vegetation and does not restrict growth.

Applications in Slopes and Channels
Enkamat is effective in preventing erosion and slope failures, particularly in steep slopes and high-velocity channels. It supports vegetation performance by anchoring roots permanently.

GreenArmor™ System
The GreenArmor System combines Enkamat with Flexterra® FGM for superior erosion control. It accelerates turf establishment, provides unmatched safety factors, and ensures high-density turf growth.

Enkamat will not unravel or lose its structural integrity when cut in the field during installation. Note: Some competitive products lose their fibers if the RECP is cut. This compromises the integrity of the product and causes environmental concerns when loose fibers migrate into ecological systems. The performance parameter that best predicts failure or maximum performance of a TRM is resistance to shear force created by hydraulic loading. Also, Enkamat is manufactured from nylon which has a specific gravity > 1 to ensure that it will not float under any hydraulic condition. TRM’s manufactured...

EnkaGreen e-ngineering with Enkamat Designing with Enkamat on your next erosion control project is just a few clicks away. EnkaGreen allows engineers / designers to analyze various channel linings using FHWA’s Hydraulic Engineer Circulation (HEC-15) design methodology. It can also calculate slope linings using USDA’s Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). Once slope or channel costs are calculated, the results can be analyzed and compared. What makes EnkaGreen better than the erosion control design software currently available? • Extensive help files and graphics make the CD more user...
