Scour Protection Solutions
High-Performance Transition Mats for Erosion & Scour Control
Areas exposed to concentrated water flow are highly susceptible to scour, erosion, and long-term structural damage. GEORUNNER® Scour Protection Mats provide a durable, engineered solution for protecting soil and infrastructure at critical transition zones—without the cost, labor, and maintenance associated with riprap.
GEORUNNER® mats are fully interconnected, high-strength transition mats designed to armor soil surfaces while allowing water conveyance and vegetation establishment. Installed over turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) or erosion control blankets, they deliver long-term scour protection while supporting low-maintenance, vegetated systems.
Proven Performance in High-Flow Applications
GEORUNNER® Scour Protection Mats are engineered to resist uplift, displacement, and hydraulic shear forces caused by high-velocity flows. The rigid, interconnected structure distributes hydraulic energy evenly, protecting underlying soils and stabilization layers from erosion and washout.
Contractor Benefits
-
Eliminates the need for riprap in many applications
-
Faster installation with reduced heavy equipment requirements
-
Lower long-term maintenance compared to stone or concrete systems
-
Supports vegetated solutions for regulatory compliance
-
Durable performance in repeated storm events
Typical Applications
GEORUNNER® Scour Protection Mats are commonly specified and installed for:
-
Swales and drainage ditches
-
Pipe and culvert outfalls
-
Stormwater channels
-
Spillways and overflow structures
-
Shorelines with moderate wave action
These systems provide reliable erosion control in both temporary construction conditions and permanent infrastructure installations.
Engineered Scour Protection You Can Build With Confidence
Designed for contractors and civil projects requiring predictable performance, GEORUNNER® mats reduce material handling, speed installation timelines, and deliver consistent erosion control across a wide range of hydraulic conditions.
