Reno
mattressesare 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 and monolithic structures to
promote rapid growth of natural vegetation.
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 and monolithic structures.
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.
Coating
Reno mattresses are available with different levels of coating
protection for durability in a wide range of environments and
climatic conditions. Reno mattresses are manufactured from coated
wire offering about three time greater protection than zinc coated
wire mattresses.
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.
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 Haifeng area
office.
