ACBM
The Articulated Concrete Block Mattress (ACBM) represents an innovative solution for diverse applications. Constructed using concrete blocks securely connected by polymeric ropes, this rectangular unit boasts flexibility in two dimensions and is customizable in various thicknesses to meet specific requirements. Primarily employed for safeguarding sealines, cables, and anchoring foundations against water scouring, the ACBM stands out for its reliability and adaptability.
In terms of material selection, meticulous attention ensures the ACBM’s longevity in seawater. The chosen materials exhibit chemical stability and retain compressive strength over time. The installation process involves a metallic frame with lifting loops, providing the mattress with the necessary flexibility to bend without compromising its structural integrity.
A key advantage of our ACBM lies in its modular design for the formwork. This design streamlines transportation to the final destination or allows for local casting near the deployment area. This logistical flexibility not only reduces transportation costs but also supports a modular manufacturing approach, accommodating a range of mattress sizes. This approach effectively minimizes expenses linked to product transportation and facilitates the construction of customized mattress sizes.
Furthermore, Maccaferri ACBMs have undergone rigorous testing in compliance with Det Norske Veritas DNV-RP-F107 recommendations. The results showcase their ability to withstand energy levels up to 100% greater than the maximum recommended, demonstrating their robust capabilities.
