Salix have the facilities to contract grow turf using the VMax³ range of NAG Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRM) as the reinforcement element giving unprecedented scour performance. This option has been successfully carried out on a number of projects including large scale flood defence embankments.

Shear stress turf is a unique pre-vegetated scour solution typically used in areas where forces exerted by water exceed the shear limits of un-vegetated TRM’s from day one of installation. Applications include high flow channels, stream banks, shorelines and spillways where rock rip rap, articulated concrete blocks and poured concrete were once the only suitable alternatives for erosion protection.

Salix are the distributor of NAG erosion control products in the UK. NAG was founded in 1985 and has become the leading manufacturer of rolled erosion control products in the world.

The VMax³ range has undergone extensive independent flume trial testing in the States. Please use the following link to review the test. www.nagreen.com
