Flex Mat Concrete

Flexmats are flexible concrete block mattresses with a guaranteed operational life time of at least 50 years in the most adverse environmental conditions both onshore and offshore.

Flex mat concrete.

The flxmat concrete mattress comprises a matrix of interconnected concrete blocks shaped by using plastic moulds shells to create the signature design of the mattress required. Flexamat is a tied concrete block mat used to control erosion in swales ditches slopes shoreline protection or any area where soil sediment can be moved by water runoff. Is the manufacturer of flexamat. Shoreflex standard mat size is 8 x32 but custom sizes are available upon request.

This geogrid was selected after years of research and field testing. Flexamat is a tied concrete block mat used to control erosion in swales ditches slopes shoreline protection or any area where soil sediment can be moved by water runoff. It consists of concrete blocks 6 5 x 6 5 with a 2 25 profile locked together and embedded into a high strength geogrid. Tied concrete block mat is a generic term for flexamat flexamat consists of concrete shapes locked together with a high strength polypropylene geogrid.

The company has been in business for over 30 years and is headquartered in cincinnati ohio. There are openings around each concrete block that give flexamat the flexibility and enable it to be packaged in rolls. The flexmat system has been applied in australia and occasionally overseas on many projects since 1984. Standard flxmat retains the plastic shells.

Polypropylene geogrid is not adversely affected by the high ph environment encountered when embedding the grid within wet concrete. Armorflex is a flexible interlocking matrix of cellular concrete blocks of uniform size shape and weight used for hard armor erosion control. We developed the first tied concrete block mats nearly twenty years ago. We invented the technology to manufacture and package concrete erosion mats into rolls.

Flexamat is a vegetated concrete block mat utilized for stabilizing slopes channels low water crossings inlet outlet protection and shorelines. The openings also allow vegetation to grow through the mat. Armorflex blocks have specific tested hydraulic capacities and are laced longitudinally with revetment cables to provide ease of handling and rapid installation. Flexamat consists of concrete shapes rectangular or round that are tied together with high strength geogrid.

The finished concrete mattress is covered in a 3mm protective plastic shell. Flexamat consists of concrete shapes rectangular or round that are tied together with high strength geogrid.
