FGM (Flexible Growth Matrix)
SRBT’s FGM (Flexible Growth Matrix) is an advanced erosion control solution that eliminates the need for traditional geotextiles. Using a hydraulic application method, FGM provides long-term stability, immediate erosion protection, and a fully biodegradable alternative to jute or coconut netting.
How Does FGM Work?
FGM is a hydraulically applied erosion control system that integrates:
- Short- and long-strand technical fibers, forming a self-matting three-dimensional structure.
- Soil conditioners, improving soil stability and moisture retention for faster vegetation growth.
- An organic guar-based binder, ensuring strong adhesion to the soil and creating a durable erosion barrier.
This blend is prepared in hydroseeding tanks and applied via high-powered spray cannons. The fibers interlock mid-air and create a seamless protective layer upon impact, adapting precisely to the terrain. Unlike geotextiles, FGM leaves no gaps or voids, eliminating the risk of undercutting and soil displacement.
Why FGM is More Effective than Geotextiles
- No installation gaps – Geotextiles often leave voids beneath the surface, allowing water to flow underneath, causing sediment washout.
- No nails or stakes – Unlike traditional mats, FGM requires no mechanical fixation, reducing labor costs and maintenance issues.
- Fully biodegradable – Manufactured from organic materials, FGM avoids the environmental impact of imported coconut or jute netting.
- Wildlife-safe – Unlike geotextiles, FGM poses no risk to reptiles, birds, or other animals that could become trapped in netting.
- Cost-effective application – Hydraulic spraying enables fast and uniform coverage, making the process more efficient than manual installation.
Key Advantages of SRBT’s FGM Technology
- Effective on extreme slopes – Provides erosion control on inclines of up to 65 degrees without additional reinforcement.
- Rapid and even application – Covers large areas quickly, reducing project time and labor costs.
- Seamless surface integration – Unlike geotextiles, FGM bonds directly to the soil, preventing water from flowing beneath the protective layer.
- Immediate erosion protection – Prevents sediment displacement while allowing vegetation to establish naturally.
Applications of FGM Erosion Control
FGM is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Road and railway embankments – Slope stabilization along highways, bridges, and rail corridors.
- Coastal and flood protection – Soil stabilization for dunes, levees, and embankments exposed to wind and wave erosion.
- Industrial and reclamation sites – Erosion control for contaminated land restoration, mining reclamation, and landfill capping.
- Extreme slopes and high-risk areas – Secure vegetation establishment on steep inclines and unstable soils.
