Drain Mats

Our Drain Mats are engineered drainage and erosion control systems designed to stabilise exposed soil surfaces and regulate water movement across slopes and embankments.

Combining a structured drainage layer with filtration, soil-binding and vegetation support components, the system controls runoff, reduces erosion and promotes rapid vegetation establishment. This integrated approach improves soil cohesion and protects surfaces from degradation in challenging ground conditions.

How It Works

Our Drain Mats operate through a combined system:

Drain excess water through permeable layers
Bind soil particles using flocculant treatment
Reduce surface water velocity
Support vegetation growth through integrated seed and fertiliser

Once vegetation establishes, root systems reinforce the soil, providing longer-term stability.

Technical Overview

PE netting with PET nonwoven backing
Integrated seed and fertiliser system
Flocculant-enhanced soil stabilisation
Non-biodegradable for durability and consistent performance

Installation

Prepare the slope or embankment by removing debris, vegetation and loose material, and grade to a smooth, even surface.
Lay the drain mats from the top of the slope downward, ensuring correct alignment and positioning.
Overlap adjacent mats sufficiently to maintain continuous surface coverage and prevent water ingress.
Secure the mats using steel pins at regular intervals across edges, overlaps and the main surface.
Ensure full contact between the mat and soil surface, avoiding air gaps or lifting.
Allow the integrated seed system to establish vegetation, providing long-term surface stabilisation.

Drain Mats

Salike products are designed to provide erosion control, surface stabilisation and ecological enhancement in accordance with their intended application. They do not constitute structural support systems unless expressly stated.

Performance is dependent on site-specific conditions, including but not limited to soil characteristics, slope geometry, hydrological and hydraulic forces, installation quality, vegetation establishment, and ongoing environmental factors. As such, project outcomes may vary.

All technical data, specifications and guidance are provided in good faith, based on current knowledge and experience. Variations may occur due to the inherent properties of natural coir materials and site-specific conditions.

It remains the responsibility of the project designer, engineer and/or contractor to determine the suitability of the product for the intended application and to ensure correct specification and installation.
