Understanding the EarthLok™ Solution, an alternative to Concrete Revetment Mattress
Unlike concrete revetment or rock mattresses, EARTHLOK™ is an advanced erosion control solution that combines the durability of concrete with the flexibility of a matting system. It is engineered to prevent soil loss and protect landscapes from erosion caused by water and wind. Our product utilises pyramid-shaped 50 Mpa concrete blocks connected with a UV-stabilised and chemically inert geogrid, ensuring superior flexibility, longevity, and environmental compatibility.
Features of the EARTHLOK™ Solution the alternative to Concrete Filled Revetment Mattress
Our concrete revetment mat alternative has:
- High Durability
Our EARTHLOK™ flexible concrete mat stands the test of time with an expected lifespan of over 100 years in vegetated applications and 70 years in non-vegetative settings. - Environmental Compatibility

Our process is designed with the environment in mind, supporting optional vegetation growth through the mat’s spacing. - Flexible and Easy Installation
Our concrete revetment mat alternative has been designed to be a flexible solution that, once installed can accommodate substantial ground movement without any loss of structural integrity. The flexibility assists in allowing a quick and straightforward installation. The mats are delivered rolled up like a carpet and unrolled in a similar manner with minimal machinery and labour.
