The composite
reinforcement mat (cTRM) shall be a machine produced mat of 100% coconut
fibre matrix incorporated into a permanent 3 dimensional netting structure.
TRM is a combination of natural fibers and synthetic material mat.

TRM is specifically
developed for soft armor revetment systems such as:
ü River channel bank protection
ü Grass swale reinforcement
ü Lake edge erosion control
ü Detention/retention pond erosion control
Typical application of TRM
Channel bank protection
Shoreline protection
of a recreational pond

Can
we just turf without TRM?
Extensive
study consisted of exposing various TRM and highly erodible
sandy loam soils in fully vegetated conditions
to consecutive channel flows at increasing levels of velocity
& shear stress was carried out for:
- unreinforced
vegetation
- reinforced
with conventional TRM
- reinforced
with North American Green TRM C350
Results
show that with turf reinforcement matrix TRM C350, the protected
area shall be able to withstand maximum velocity of 5.5m/s.
Whereas, the unreinforced channel lining experience the soil
loss up to 0.5 inch within ½ hours under a flow velocity
as slow as 2m/s.
