Abstract
A porous, reinforced, erosion control matting is provided by a relatively open, self-supporting, three-dimensionally looped structure of synthetic filaments having a diameter of at least 0.06 mm., with a backing of a decay-resistant or rot-resistant, comparatively dense web or fabric which is bonded to at least some of the filaments of the matting, and with a lattice or open-mesh reinforcing facing member extending parallel to the backing to provide an upper surface of crossbars onto which the looped synthetic filaments are laid so as to be interlocked with the crossbars while extending downwardly between the crossbars to form porous alveolate cells. The matting is highly useful in preventing soil erosion while also being easily manufactured and installed in any given location.
