Abstract
A system and method for the construction of a hemp mat having consistent density whereby the hemp fiber mat may be used to strengthen ice or other entities for any number of applications and different types of construction designed such that it may be sturdy enough to stay bonded when it is transported, unrolled, and soaked during ice road construction but loose enough to break apart during spring to reduce blockage and environmental damage to the waterway on which the ice road was constructed.
