High-stability concrete is used to offer geosynthetic solutions that have a wide range of applications in shoreline stabilization, riverbank restoration, habitat creation, and bridge scour protection. The ArmorFlex mats are a perfect example of a product that Nilex offers which is able to provide protection to environments that suffer from erosion by water.
The product is made up of Articulating Concrete Blocks (ACBs). Each block of stability concrete can be fabricated to have an open-cell design for revegetation or a closed block design for heavy loading. They are arranged with geometrical precision within mats that can be easily installed on-site.
These structures can come in handy in areas that are running out of natural rocks and can save significant costs for projects due to the ease of installation. When combined with geotextile, ArmorFlex can be used to grow vegetation, further protecting shorelines from erosion. The flexibility in the design allows you to use these structures on a wide range of surfaces including slopes and rough terrain.
They are also adaptable to various temperatures and are frost-resistant. When it comes to safety, their design allows them to eliminate the risk of pinch points that usually develop between rocks.
