The future is here with the new Tensar VMax® W3000 woven high-performance turf reinforcement mat (TRM). The VMax W3000 TRM is the only multi-layered woven TRM on the market. This latest advancement in woven TRM technology increases strength and performance while utilizing the traditional three-dimensional patented design of VMax. VMax is a line of TRMs under Tensar’s trusted RollMax System. Our high strength, three-dimensional mat consists of a woven corrugated middle layer integrally interlaced into the woven top and bottom layers, producing separate strata zones for both root and stem reinforcement. The W3000 TRM is designed to provide increased thickness with an optimum open area for effective erosion and vegetation reinforcement against high flow induced shear forces. The W3000 TRM also has high tensile strength excellent for increased bearing capacity of vegetated soils subjected to heavy loads from maintenance equipment and other vehicular traffic.

With the highest strength and performance available, the VMax W3000 TRM can also exhibit these added advantages:

˴ The only multi-layered woven TRM capable of providing separate strata zones for both stem and root reinforcement thereby improving erosion control and vegetated reinforcement.

˴ Unique corrugated 3-D structure allows for increased thickness for high compression strength, higher capacity and better retention of soil in-fill.

˴ Tested to greater than 3000 lbs/ft tensile strength and 80% minimum tensile retention after 3000hr UV exposure.

˴ Extreme wave overtopping and large scale channel testing.

˴ High durability for damage resistance to equipment, debris-laden and severe flow conditions.

˴ Increased geotechnical stability for shallow-slope failures when used in conjunction with percussion driven earth anchors.

˴ Three-dimensional corrugated structure forms protective “troughs” perpendicular to water flow to prevent soil/seed migration and wash out.
