Reno Mattress Plus
Cost-effective riverbank hydraulic protection
Traditional riverbank protections, like rip-rap, require significant material due to imprecise placement and lack of confinement. Maccaferri’s mattress solutions—Reno Mattress Plus and RenoMac Plus—offer superior performance, reducing material use, costs, and environmental impact while ensuring durable and effective hydraulic protection.
Sustainable Engineering
Reno Mattress Plus and RenoMac Plus combine sustainability and performance. The PoliMac coating ensures exceptional durability, even in the most aggressive conditions, reducing maintenance and extending the product’s life cycle. Rigorously tested, it does not release harmful substances into water. By using natural stone, these solutions integrate seamlessly into aquatic environments, enhancing biodiversity. With over 70% less material usage compared to rip-rap, they deliver the same performance with a lower environmental footprint.
Reno Mattress Plus
Invented in the 1960s, Reno Mattress Plus has been continuously improved through decades of research and testing. In collaboration with Colorado State University, we have perfected its performance to deliver unmatched hydraulic protection. By minimizing material consumption, it cuts emissions by over 80% compared to rip-rap, making it an ideal solution for sustainable riverbank protection.

BANK PROTECTION AT DRAIN OUTLET
Singapore
The ITTC (Integrated train testing center) Singapore is one of the biggest and prestigious projects of South East Asia. It is situated at the coastal line. The civil construction is being operated by Land Transport Authority. At one of the location along the sea side, the drain outlet is being given such that it shall discharge in the sea water. Now the existing coast line and the drain water getting discharged caused the turbulence in the water. This is in addition to the wave impact at the bank. All these lead to the erosion of the bank. If suitable protection measures are not being taken up, it can cause the bank failure and even damage the drain network.
