    Maccaferri <\/span>Pty <\/span>Ltd <\/span>was <\/span>approached <\/span>by <\/span>Rail <\/span>Infrastructure Corporation (RIC) for design assistance on an energy dissipater for a stormwater outfall. The preliminary <\/span>design was a reinforced concrete USBR (United States Bureau of Reclamation) style dissipater. <\/span>With time and budget constraints against RIC, Maccaferri had to act quickly to deliver a solution for their needs. A further requirement for RIC was that the design had to be certified.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Maccaferri engaged Cardno Willing Pty Ltd on behalf of RIC to design and certify a suitable energy dissipater. Cardno Willing determined that the USBR style <\/span>dissipater was not appropriate for the hydraulic conditions of the site. As a result, Cardno Willing in conjunction with Maccaferri proposed a Gabion & Reno Mattress drop structure.<\/p>\n

    The final solution was vastly different from the original proposal, however, it was more cost effective and efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

    RIC was very pleased with the outcome, in particularly with the installation. The contractor, Revegetation & Erosion Control carried out the project in accordance to the specifications and produced an aesthetically <\/span>pleasing structure that will become a benchmark for future mesh projects to come.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
