Civil Engineering
EnkaMat A20 provided immediate and maintenance free protection against erosion for canal improvement in the Netherlands.
Supply canals are used for the discharge and supply of water between two waterways, so levels can be controlled with the help of pumping stations. The supply canal in Nederweert (NL) receives water from the Zuid-Willemsvaart and flows into the Noordervaart. Modernisation of its water courses was required to meet downstream demand. However, high volumes of turbulent water can damage such supply canals, and the banks neede robust protection from erosion.
When the project owner Rijkswaterstaat raised and improved the supply canal’s banks they selected EnkaMat A20 to make them erosion proof. EnkaMat A20 is a three-dimensional open polyamide mat, containing a mineral filter of chippings bound with bitumen, and with 40 to 50% voids.

The mat delivered immediate, sustainable and maintenance free protection from the moment it was installed. EnkaMat’s three-dimensional structure means that vegetation easily takes root and finds its way through the mat. The canal’s banks were strengthened, their lifetime extended, and they quickly became green again in a natural way.
Preventing damage to road structures by draining edges and soil embankments to maintain the soil's strength.
Cost-effective and sustainable schemes to optimise minimal available land space when creating new infrastructure. Reduces the need for removing in-situ materials or importing new materials.
On coastal reclamation works, the finished ground profile may not settle evenly. Releasing the groundwater and reducing the pore water pressure quickly allows you to complete consolidation settlement while reclamation works and infrastructure installation are underway.
