Pvc coated river mattress for soil erosion and river blocking
Product Description:
Gabion mattress is flat-shaped after assembly. It has longer length and lower height than gabion basket. This shape is ideal for protecting riverbed and river slopes where gabion basket fails.
Gabion mattress is manufactured by woven or welded gabions. They are filled with rocks and stones on the spot to form a monolithic and flexible construction. They are used for bank and scour protection, channel linings for preventing soil loss and embankment stability.
Why choose gabion mattress?
Environment-friendly
Void between gabion stones is filled with soil and silt which promotes vegetation growth. Vegetation strengthens the gabion mattress structure and maintains the ecological balance.Special outlook blends well with surroundings.
Flexibility
Welded or woven gabion mattress can withstand stresses depending on different ground settlements.
Permeability
Water can seep through stone structure while keep the soil in place. Hence, no additional drainage device is required to relieve hydrostatic
pressure.
Cost effective
Easy and fast installation.

Features:
Made of high quality low carbon wire, gabion mattress is strong and durable; meanwhile, all edges are reinforced with wire selvage for added strength.
It can bear the heavy weight of dense hard rocks and has high shear resistance than traditional riprap so that it allows for better soil stabilization.
The space between rocks allows for excellent drainage to reduce the hydrostatic pressure as well as ensure natural water exchange and ecological equilibrium.
Gabion mattress can be divided into chambers by inserting diaphragms, meanwhile, independent units can be fastened together to form an integral monolithic structure - just using steel tie wire.
Gabion mattress, mounted on the bank of rivers and streams can effectively prevents soil erosion. Additionally, vegetation on the mattress improves the soil protection as well as decorates the surroundings.
The filling materials such as local rocks and stones are low-cost; meanwhile, they are easy to assembly and install not requiring skilled labor and large equipment.
