RVX™ Armor

Quick Overview

Carthage Mills' RVX™ Armor System was designed to meet the challenges of the most severe of erosion events. The RVX™ Armor System consists of Enkamat® R30, a uniquely constructed, flexible, highperformance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) and aluminum alloy percussion driven anchors. Its high tensile strength, over 2,000 lbs/ft, assures high survivability and longterm design performance.

The HPTRM is comprised of woven high–tenacity polyester yarns for reinforcement at low strains; entangled within a three dimensional matrix of continuous nylon monofilaments fused at their intersections. When anchored with the S2 aluminum alloy percussion driven anchors to compressed soils 24"–36" beneath the surface, the RVX™ Armor System provides resistance to any further movement of the anchors and soils; permanently secures the mat to the ground; and promotes the establishment of vegetation with an integrated reinforced root system.
