R3D - COIR MAT

BonTerra’s R3D Coir Mat is a composite turf reinforcement mat, built for places a biodegradable blanket wouldn’t survive: critical-flow channels, stream banks and shorelines. It pairs a permanent, high-strength 3D corrugated structure with a 100% coconut-fibre matrix. The 3D structure anchors roots and stems in the soil, creating a shear plane that diverts flowing water away from the surface, while the fibre matrix holds ground cover and moisture so vegetation establishes fast. The result: permanent protection equivalent to 0.76 m of rock riprap, a green, cost-effective alternative to concrete on the most demanding sites.

Permanent Erosion Control and Slope Protection with BonTerra R3D - COIR

R3D – Coir mat is a groundbreaking solution composed of a permanent, high-strength, three-dimensional matting structure combined with a 100% coconut-fiber matrix. This dynamic matrix complements the permanent matting structure, enhancing grass germination and erosion control capabilities for an impressive duration . R3D – Coir Mat has been designed to deliver enduring vegetated erosion protection and permanent turf reinforcement, making it ideal for critical-flow channels, stream banks, and shorelines.

R3D – Coir Mat significantly boosts the shear resistance of vegetation. Providing permanent erosion protection equivalent to 0.76 m of rock riprap, R3D Coir Mat offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly “green” solution for erosion control projects in even the most challenging conditions.

Composition of R3D – Coir Mat

R3D – Coir Mat Composite Turf Reinforcement Series comprises three distinct permanent turf reinforcement mats (TRMs), each meticulously designed to maximize performance throughout all three developmental phases: unveiling, vegetation establishment, and vegetation maturity. These TRMs feature a patented composite construction that elevates their erosion control and permanent turf reinforcement capabilities well beyond conventional TRMs.

Vegetation growth and slope protection of R3D – Coir Mat

Each R3D – Coir Mat product starts with a permanent, three-dimensional corrugated turf reinforcement matting structure, integrated with either natural organic or UV stabilized synthetic fibers. This innovative TRM structure anchors and reinforces vegetation roots and stems for long-term stability, creating a shear plane that diverts flowing water away from the soil surface, enhancing immediate to long-term erosion control capabilities. The fiber matrix further supplements ground cover and moisture retention properties for dramatically improved erosion control and mulching action.

R3D – Coir TRMs instill confidence from the very beginning, ensuring effective seed and soil protection immediately after installation. The most comprehensive product performance guarantee in the industry backs R3D – Coir TRMs, allowing you to design with confidence, relying on vegetation instead of traditional rock riprap or concrete in most critical erosion control applications.

R3D combines a permanent, high-strength 3D matting structure with a 100% coconut-fibre matrix, designed for long-term turf reinforcement rather than the temporary, fully biodegradable role a standard coir blanket plays.
The 3D matting structure is described as permanent, while the coconut-fibre matrix within it is biodegradable. BonTerra is confirming the exact material composition and rated lifespan for publication.
It’s engineered for demanding, high-flow conditions, critical-flow channels, stream banks, and shorelines, where long-term vegetated erosion protection is needed rather than temporary cover.
Yes, its 3D structure is specifically designed to anchor and fortify plant root systems within the matrix, supporting long-term vegetation establishment alongside the structural reinforcement.
Yes, shorelines are one of the conditions R3D is specifically engineered for, alongside critical-flow channels and stream banks, where standard biodegradable blankets would not withstand ongoing water flow.
