Green Armor System – Advanced Soil Erosion Protection

High-Performance Vegetative Cover for Slopes and High-Flow Channels

Green Armor is a technologically advanced, high-strength vegetative system designed to combat soil erosion. Engineered for high-discharge waterways, steep slopes, and challenging terrains, Green Armor provides aesthetic, durable, and efficient solutions for erosion control. When combined with Flexterra FGM, the system delivers exceptional results, enhancing seed germination, increasing soil moisture retention, and promoting rapid, vigorous plant growth. It serves as a complete surface protection system, offering high resistance to hydraulic forces and environmental stresses while creating an ideal microenvironment for vegetation.

Key Benefits

  • Superior erosion and mud control

  • Enhances soil stabilization and slope protection

  • Provides high water retention, reducing evaporation and stress on seedlings

  • Promotes fast, strong vegetation growth

  • Creates a resilient surface layer against environmental pressures

  • Excellent compatibility with hydroseeding and revegetation applications

Green Armor System – Robust Vegetation Performance

Green Design Engineering has established many modern industry standards. The Green Armor System combines Flexterra FGM with Enkamat Turf Reinforcement to advance natural vegetative limits, resisting hydraulic flows up to 20 ft/sec and mowing stresses up to 17.5 lb/sf.

  • Double the erosion resistance compared to traditional vegetation methods

  • Provides unique safety and stability features

  • Supports high-density grass and plant establishment

  • Achieves 30–50% cost savings compared to conventional solutions

Application Challenge

A development team near a sensitive wetland required a solution to protect a high-discharge stormwater channel that would also satisfy aesthetic and environmental considerations.

Solution:
The Green Armor System was implemented, delivering enhanced vegetative erosion resistance capable of withstanding high water flow while meeting strict aesthetic and environmental standards.

Results:
Within two months, the channel exhibited dense plant growth with minimal maintenance, while improving visual appeal for surrounding residents.

Performance Comparison

  • Traditional straw and wood mulch coverings cannot match Flexterra’s slope and critical area protection.

  • The FGM matrix provides superior air voids and moisture retention, promoting vegetation establishment.

  • Flexterra absorbs and retains 15 times more water than its weight, whereas standard straw mats hold only twice their weight (ASTM D1117).

  • Flexterra layers can enhance the performance of other erosion control systems, such as Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs), when hydraulically applied together.
