Spillways & Flood Banks
Salix’s range of high performance anti-erosion products have been used as part of a number of large scale flood defence projects.
We have extensive experience of spillway protection using the Tensar range of Composite Turf Reinforcement Matting (C-TRM) i.e. VMax C350 and P550 mats that are designed to provide long-term, vegetated erosion protection and permanent turf reinforcement in a range of applications that include spillways, critical-flow channels, stream banks, and shorelines.
