RENO MATTRESS PLUS – DESIGN THE CHANGE
For over 140 years, we have developed solutions that enhance river ecosystem resilience including the social ability to recover quickly from catastrophic events (flood, natural disasters). Projects carried out over the years highlighted to us the importance of Shear Stress as main design parameter for hydraulic structures that aim at preventing water induced erosion.
FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What is Reno Mattress PLUS with X-Ties?
Reno Mattress Plus with X-Ties incorporates internal cross-ties within the mattress structure, enhancing shape retention and providing superior resistance to deformation under hydraulic loads. This feature ensures added stability in demanding flow conditions and long-term structural integrity.
2. How does Reno Mattress Plus compare to conventional rip-rap?
Reno Mattress Plus offers better hydraulic performance, soil retention, and structural integrity compared to rip-rap. While rip-rap can shift or wash away over time, the wire mesh in Reno Mattress Plus confines the rock fill, preventing displacement even under strong currents. The integrated filter also prevents soil migration, unlike typical rip-rap installations.
3. Is Reno Mattress Plus environmentally friendly?
Yes! Reno Mattress Plus is an eco-friendly erosion control solution. The open mesh structure allows for vegetation growth, which strengthens the protection over time and promotes habitat restoration in natural waterways.
