In 1957, after a tropical storm had caused severe beach erosion at the Florida home of the president of Carthage Mills, he joined forces with engineers from the Coastal Engineering Lab at the University of Florida to protect his property against future storms. They eventually developed a tough woven synthetic filter fabric with design properties that permitted water to pass through while holding back sand and particles.
The ARMORMAX® Engineered Earth Armoring System™ is an innovative, advanced solution designed to tackle long-term erosion control and slope stabilization challenges across various environments.
Reliable Solution for Erosion Control – TRMs When it comes to erosion control, durability, and effectiveness are key. Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) deliver on both fronts, offering versatile, long-lasting solutions…
At Carthage Mills, we pride ourselves on being more than just a supplier of geosynthetics—we’re a trusted partner for the geosynthetics industry as a whole. While we may not wear the title of “engineer,” our expertise and collaborative approach ensure that we can help provide products that meet even the most complex specifications.
Demarcation geotextiles are specialized fabrics designed to create a distinct, visible separation layer within soil. In remediation sites, they’re used to mark the boundary between contaminated soil and clean backfill, ensuring safe and clear delineation. Available in both woven and nonwoven varieties, orange demarcation geotextiles can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, offering both durability and flexibility in design.
ASCE estimates that only about half of the $1.04 trillion needed to address critical water infrastructure by 2029 is currently allocated, making it crucial to seek cost-effective solutions, and this is an opportunity for geosynthetics to help.
Founded in 1958, Carthage Mills set the stage for a revolutionary shift in the construction world with the introduction of an innovative woven synthetic filter cloth. This new product would become a game-changer, offering a cost-effective alternative to the inefficient graded granular filters used in shoreline protection under riprap. What started as a plastic filter cloth evolved into what we now call “Geotextiles,” marking the birth of the geosynthetics industry. Today, Carthage Mills is recognized as America’s first geosynthetics company, credited with laying the foundation for this thriving industry.
Geotextile Experts When it comes to geotextiles, no company has the deep-rooted history and expertise that Carthage Mills does. As the nation’s first geotextile company, we have been at the…
Consider ShoreMax® transition mats from Carthage Mills to replace concrete and rock scour pads. The UV-stabilized and vegetative ShoreMax mat can reduce material and installation costs, and provide as much protection as other hard armor scour options.
