ARMOURED EROSION CONTROL - RENO
MATTRESS
The protection of road and railway
embankments often require the same type of protection that may be
required for hydraulic works or slope stabilisation in order to
counteract not only superficial erosion but also the erosive effects
of watercourses, a lake or the sea.
The use of Groundwork Services Reno Mattress
revetments has provided outstanding solutions in a variety of
applications, and because of their strength provides stability to
the embankment while promoting a rapid regrowth of natural
vegetation. Groundwork Services Reno Mattresses are made of flexible steel
wire mesh, laced together and filled with stones to form monolithic
structures that can provide a cost effective and sometimes unique
solution to many problems in river works, soil stabilisation, flood
and scour protection and coastal defence.
