| Reno Gabion Mattress |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Reno mattresses are used for river bank
and scour protection, channel linings for erosion
control, and embankment stability. They are filled with
rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable,
monolithic structures to promote rapid growth of
natural vegetation. All the physical and mechanical
properties of Rofirm Gabions & Mattresses Co. Reno mattresses meet or exceed the
requirements of ASTM A975-97.
The base section of the
Reno mattress is divided into compartments and filled
with stones at the project site. With lids secured, Reno
mattresses form flexible, permeable, monolithic
structures. |

Environmental
Friendly
Reno mattresses are
environmentally friendly products. The blending of Reno
mattress structures into the environment is rapid and
pleasing. The voids in the rockfill become progressively
filled with silt, promoting vegetation growth which is
essential to the preservation and maintenance of the
ecological balance of the surrounding
environment. |
| |
Flexibility
The woven mesh system has the capability of
withstanding unexpected and/or localized stresses due to
ground settlements and scour by deflection while
maintaining its structural
integrity.
Permeability
The
stone fill allows the water to seep through the
structure while retaining the soil, therefore no
additional drainage is required to relieve the
hydrostatic pressures.
Cost Effective, Easy
to Build
Reno mattress construction does
not require skilled labor because they are very easy to
build. Standard construction equipment can be used.
Structures can be built in stages, if necessary, and
baskets can be prefilled and launched to enable the
installation under water. Site assistance is available
from any Rofirm Gabions & Mattresses Co. area office. |

selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges.
- The base section is divided into compartments to
restrict the movement of stone and strengthen the
structure.
- The lid is supplied as a separate panel.
