Reliable erosion control for slopes, waterways, and vulnerable shorelines 

Controlling erosion on slopes, channels, and shoreline restoration projects is a complex challenge – especially in areas exposed to intense hydraulic forces, harsh UV conditions, or limited vegetation growth. 

A proven solution for demanding erosion and slope stabilization projects 

PROPEX^® Pyramat^® 75 is a high-performance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) engineered for extreme conditions. This three-dimensional, woven polypropylene geotextile delivers superior erosion protection, slope stabilization, and vegetation reinforcement. Its patented pyramid-like monofilament structure locks in seed and soil, promoting rapid root integration and long-term vegetative anchoring. 

Designed for use on steep slopes, in vegetated waterways, and along vulnerable shorelines,  PROPEX Pyramat 75 combines high tensile strength with exceptional UV resistance, delivering reliable performance and a design life of up to 75 years.  

Engineered for performance across multiple applications: 

Slope and hillside stabilization 

PROPEX Pyramat 75 is ideal for surficial slope stabilization, offering reinforcement where vegetation alone is not sufficient. It enhances global stability and controls surface erosion in challenging conditions. 

Erosion control 

As a high-performance turf reinforcement mat, it interlocks with soil and root systems, increasing shear resistance and velocity tolerance on vegetated surfaces. 

Channel protection 

The primary purpose of channels stabilization is to prevent erosion resulting from hydraulic or geotechnical forces. Selecting the right solution is critical to overall performance including: 

• 

  Protecting the natural and riparian habitat 

• 

  Lowering operation and maintenance costs 

• 

  Extending project life 

• 

  Addressing aesthetic concerns 

Performance criteria for channel stabilization materials have traditionally focused on hydraulic parameters like shear stress and flow velocity, but field performance is also highly dependent on non-hydraulic factors including UV resistance and tensile strength. PROPEX Pyramat 75 protects slopes adjacent to water, and has been proven to greatly improve hydraulic resistance limits by reinforcing the vegetative root structure and providing greater stability during and beyond vegetation establishment. 

Optimizing erosion control projects 

Available in green or tan, PROPEX Pyramat 75 is supplied in multiple roll sizes to fit diverse site conditions. Whether you’re working in urban environments, along waterways, or in remote wildfire-prone areas, PROPEX Pyramat 75 offers an environmentally responsible, resilient, and performance-driven solution to meet your erosion control and slope stabilization needs.
