Ulo Mats

Synopsis: ULO mats are large, flexible fabric mats, stabilised in situ with a colloidal grout of a cement/water suspension with added sand. The result is an economic, unobtrusive, durable revetment, suitable for use on river banks subjected to wash, or in low energy estuarine environments. Animation is used to explain the principles.
