Geomat for Gravel Driveways

I. Structure and Material Properties

• Three-Dimensional Structure
  The geomat is engineered using multi-layer interweaving technology, achieving a porosity rate of ≥85%. This structure effectively stabilizes soil, retains moisture, and allows air circulation—creating optimal conditions for vegetation establishment and root development, especially on gravel driveways and slopes.

• High-Strength, Weather-Resistant Materials
  Constructed from UV-resistant polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), the net is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and freeze-thaw cycles. It remains durable and functional across a wide temperature range (-40℃ to 80℃) and offers a service life exceeding 20 years.

• Excellent Water Permeability and Drainage
  The open mesh design facilitates rapid rainwater infiltration, minimizing surface runoff and preventing water-induced soil erosion. This enhances slope stability while maintaining a healthy moisture balance for vegetation.

Ii. Function and Engineering Advantages

• Efficient Ecological Restoration
  Within just three months of installation, vegetation coverage can exceed 70%, significantly accelerating the ecological recovery process. This makes it highly suitable for applications such as riverbank restoration and greening of exposed mountainous areas.

• Superior Erosion Resistance and Slope Stability
  Engineered to endure harsh weather conditions—including heavy rainfall and strong winds—the net reduces soil erosion by up to 80%. Its high friction coefficient (≥0.5) enhances slope stability and minimizes the risk of landslides or surface runoff damage.

• Cost-Effective and Easy to Install
  Designed for lightweight, manual handling (with each roll weighing ≤30 kg), the material allows for rapid deployment without heavy machinery. A single team can cover up to 800 square meters per day, and the overall project cost is approximately 60% lower than traditional concrete slope protection methods.
