Armorflex is a flexible, interlocking matrix of machine-compressed, cellular concrete blocks of uniform size, shape, and weight. The matrix is connected by a series of cables which pass longitudinally through preformed ducts in each block, making them easy to install over site-specific filter fabric on a prepared surface.
Armorflex revetment systems combine the favourable aspects of lightweight blankets and meshes such as porosity, flexibility, vegetation encouragement, and habitat enhancement with no erodible self-weight and the high tractive force resistance of a rigid lining.
Armorflex has proven to be an aesthetic and functional alternative to dumped stone riprap, gabions, structural con-crete, and other heavy-duty, durable erosion protection systems.
