Articulating Block Mat (ABM) is formed with a double layer woven fabric, joined together into a matrix of rectangular compartments each separated by a narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric and containing interconnecting high strength revetment cables. Articulating Block Mat forms are positioned on the area to be protected, where they are filled with pumpable fine aggregate concrete (structural grout) to form a mattress of individual blocks in a bonded block pattern. The high strength revetment cables become embedded in the blocks to tie the blocks together and enable the revetment to resist tension in all directions. Patented separate cable duct design assures that the revetment cables will be positioned securely in the center of each block. Relief of hydrostatic uplift pressure, caused by entrapped and ground water, is provided through the narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric after the grout has hardened. Articulating Block Mat (ABM) is custom fabricated into multiple mill width panels, designed to fit actual site dimensions and topography.
