<p>An erosion-control matting and method for making the matting wherein the matting is used for controlling certain erosion conditions, particularly with respect to erosion of soil and sand by the action of water. The matting is formed by cutting a vehicle tire (12) into a continuous elongated strip (52) and attaching at least two strips together, end-to-end, to form a continuous length of rubber stripping which is then wound onto a spool (55). A multiplicity of strip-loaded spools are positioned longitudinally so as to be received in a weaving machine (66), with a single spool being positioned to dispense a rubber strip transverse to the longitudinally disposed rubber strips, whereby the strips are woven to form an interwoven rubber matting (100), the configuration thereof being predetermined for the required use.</p> |
