Rural, private landowners and the agribusiness market sector experience many similar problems to the civil and environmental markets, although often on a smaller scale. Concrete mats work on a small and large scale.
Protection and prevention of erosion
Soil erosion can lead to surface water run-off and siltation of water courses; erosion prevention techniques are important to overcome this. Additionally, effective and reliable channelling works are needed for irrigation or land drainage purposes. Australian Concrete Mats are also suitable for storage, stabilisation and filtering solutions. Our concrete mats are used to construct roads, dams and ponds, drainage channels and livestock traffic tracks. Concrete Mats are an easy to use and ideal solution for landowners and managers.
