Specification - Flexterra HP-FGM 3-17 (Rev).pdf

This document is a technical specification for Flexterra High Performance-Flexible Growth Medium (HP-FGM), a hydraulically-applied erosion control product designed for soil stabilization and vegetation establishment. The specification, developed by PROFILE Products LLC, provides detailed guidelines for the use of HP-FGM in construction and restoration projects, specifically focusing on its application for erosion control and revegetation of disturbed surfaces.

The specification outlines the product's composition, which includes 80% thermally processed virgin wood fibers, 10% wetting agents, 5% crimped biodegradable interlocking fibers, and 5% micro-pore granules. It provides comprehensive instructions for soil testing, vegetation species selection, substrate preparation, installation procedures, and maintenance. The application rates vary based on slope gradient, ranging from 1,500 to 4,500 lbs per acre, with specific recommendations for different terrain conditions. The product is designed to create a continuous, porous, absorbent, and flexible erosion-resistant blanket that supports rapid germination and accelerated plant growth.
