Geomats are three-dimensional geosynthetic materials specifically designed for surface erosion control. They are applied on slopes, embankments, channels, and other surfaces exposed to wind and water action.
Their entangled polymer filament structure forms an open matrix that retains soil particles and promotes vegetation growth.
Advantages / Benefits
Runoff mitigation and sediment control: Acts as a physical barrier that reduces surface flow velocity, minimizing erosion and loss of fine soil particles.
Natural reinforcement through vegetation rooting: The threedimensional structure facilitates root development, creating biological anchorage for long-term stabilization.
High performance under severe environmental conditions: Designed to resist UV degradation, chemical exposure, and extreme climatic conditions.
Optimized construction timelines and resources: Lightweight and flexible, allowing fast installation and reduced execution time and operational costs.

Erosion Control in Open Pits – Pierina Mine, Áncash, Peru
In climatically demanding environments such as the exposed pits at Pierina Mine in Áncash, Peru, a surface protection system using geomats was implemented for erosion control.
This solution significantly reduced soil degradation on slopes, enhanced terrain stability, and improved landscape integration.
The use of geomats reduced maintenance costs and accelerated revegetation programs established by the mining operation, consolidating an efficient, durable solution aligned with sustainability and environmental responsibility objectives in large-scale extractive projects.
North Interoceanic Highway Project – Section 2, Peru
To stabilize steep slopes with loose soils along Section 2 of the North Interoceanic Highway, an erosion control system using geomats made from natural fibers was implemented.
This solution reduced soil loss from the first rainfall events, accelerated natural revegetation, and minimized the environmental impact associated with construction activities.
Fast installation, low operational cost, and biodegradability consolidated the geomat as an efficient and environmentally responsible solution within one of the country’s most significant road infrastructure projects.
