Titan Solution

Pyramat - Mine Closure 2The closure dam project in Aurora, North Mine, Alberta, was initially designed to be completed with 700mm of Rip-Rap Rock and geotextile for slope erosion control measures. After consulting with the client, Titan proposed a longer-lasting and more cost-effective solution, which included lining the dam slopes with PYRAMAT®, a high-performance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) made of woven polypropylene geotextile. An impressive 484,376 SF (45,000 m2) of material was supplied and installed.
