Key Features

 

Strong Scour Protection
The stone-filled mattress structure absorbs and disperses hydraulic impact, reducing erosion risks around dams, weirs, spillways, and water discharge areas.

Stable Performance in High Flow Conditions
The flexible structure can withstand continuous water impact while adapting to minor ground movement without cracking or structural failure.

Effective Drainage and Pressure Relief
The permeable design allows water to pass through naturally, reducing hydrostatic pressure and improving long-term structural stability.

Durable and Easy Maintenance
Galvanized, Galfan, and PVC-coated wire options provide corrosion resistance, while localized repairs can be completed without replacing the entire system.

FAQ

 

Q: What is Reno Mattress used for in dam and weir projects?

A: Reno Mattress is mainly used to protect riverbeds, slopes, spillways, and hydraulic structures from erosion caused by high-speed water flow.

Q: How does Reno Mattress prevent erosion?

A: The stone-filled structure reduces water impact energy, stabilizes the surface, and prevents soil loss caused by hydraulic scour.

Q: What flow conditions can Reno Mattress withstand?

A: It can be used in high-flow environments. Actual performance depends on hydraulic design, stone filling, installation method, and site conditions.

Q: What is the difference between Reno Mattress and gabion baskets?

A: Reno Mattress has a lower profile and larger surface coverage, making it suitable for surface protection, while gabion baskets are taller structures mainly used for retaining walls.

Q: Can Reno Mattress adapt to uneven foundations?

A: Yes. The flexible double-twisted mesh structure allows adaptation to minor settlement and ground deformation.

Q: What coating options are available?

A: Available options include heavy zinc coating, Galfan (Zn-5% Al-MM), and PVC coating for improved corrosion resistance.

Q: Can vegetation grow through Reno Mattress?

A: Yes. The permeable stone-filled structure allows soil accumulation and vegetation growth, supporting ecological restoration.

Q: How long can Reno Mattress last?

A: Service life depends on coating type, water conditions, and installation environment. Properly selected systems can provide decades of protection.

Q: Can the dimensions be customized?

A: Yes. Length, width, height, mesh opening, wire diameter, and coating system can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?

A: Please provide project type, required dimensions, hydraulic conditions, quantity, coating specification, and delivery destination for an accurate quotation.
