ArmorFlex revetment systems combine the favorable aspects of lightweight blankets and meshes such as porosity, flexibility, vegetation encouragement and habitat enhancement with non-erodible self-weight and the high tractive force resistance of a rigid lining.
ArmorFlex has proven to be an aesthetic and functional alternative to dumped stone riprap, gabions, structural concrete and other heavy-duty, durable erosion protection systems.
Benefits of the ArmorFlex System:
- Engineered block system supported by extensive full-scale testing – this verified performance means long-term performance without costly maintenance.
- 20% open area – Allows full vegetation for the entire system to meet regulation demands and provide an aesthetic solution.
- Fast and low cost installation – Substantial savings on large projects when compared to large diameter riprap.
