Battling the Relentless Floods: Gabions and Reno Mattress Protect the Strategic Barugbug Weir
Barugbug Weir nears collapse as floods exceed capacity. Engineers fortify failing weir with gabions as climate-fueled deluges intensify.
The Barugbug Weir in Karawang is not only essential for irrigating rice fields in Jatisari, Patokbeusi, and surrounding areas, but it also plays a crucial role in flood control around the Cilamaya estuary. This strategic structure unites the Ciherang and Cilamaya rivers, addressing increased flood discharge caused by land use changes. To ensure stability and erosion prevention, Maccaferri provided a Drop Structure and Revetment Protection System using gabions and Reno Mattress Plus. These solutions effectively reinforce the riverbanks and beds, maintaining long-term durability.
