| Gabion Mats |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Mattresses, like gabions, are wire fabric containers,
uniformly partitioned, of variable size, interconnected
with other similar containers and filled with stone at
the site of use, to form flexible, permeable, monolithic
structures such as retaining walls, sea walls, channel
linings, revetments and weirs for earth
retention. |
| Mattresses are relatively small in
height in relation to the lateral dimension of a gabion
and are generally used for channel linings. Our gabions
and mattresses are manufactured from welded wire mesh
and assembled with our preformed spiral binder (3"
pitch). We suggest the use of pre-formed stiffeners at
each exposed face of the gabion. |

| Eco Mattresses |
| Gabions and
mattresses will revegetate over time as the structure
collects soil and the airborne or waterborne seeds of
locally occurring plantlife. This spontaneous growth
will create a very natural environment and will increase
the efficiency of a gabion structure as the plants
enhance the soil stability. It may be desireable to
foster the growth of a particular plant species and/or
hasten the natural process of vegetation. In this case,
Ecomattresses are the ideal solution. Standard gabion
mattresses fitted with a geotextile liner are filled
with graded stone; the stone fill is then saturated with
a quality soil medium - this may or may not be seeded. A
natural fiber mat is placed across the top and then the
mesh lid is attached to hold it in place. If the
Ecomattress is not seeded, it would be planted with
small seedlings through the fiber
mat. |
