Anti-Corrosive Reno Mattress Introduction:

Reno mattress, also called gabion mattress, or revet mattress, is a type of container with hexagonal meshes and double or triple twisted structure. Reno Mattresses are units manufactured from double-twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh 6×8 type, made of zinc-coated wire. Internal diaphragms positioned at 1-meter lateral centers divide Reno mattresses into uniformly portioned cells; the diaphragms are created by inserting an upright double-mesh fold in the base panel, which improves diaphragm stability during filling operations.

Reno mattresses are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as river bank protection and channel linings for erosion control projects. To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter.

The revet mattress has a relatively smaller height compared with the gabion box. The gabion mattress is widely used in riverbank protection, coastal protection and channel linings.

Different Materials of Reno Mattress:

Reno mattresses can be made of different materials, according to different materials, the reno mattress can be divided into different styles.

&#; Galvanized steel wire before fabrication. Using galvanized steel wire for fabricating the reno mattress, which has excellent corrosion and rust resistance performance during use. However, the zinc coating on the joints of gabions may slightly falling off during fabrication.

&#; Galvanized surface treatment after fabrication. Using steel wire for fabricating and then electric or hot dipped galvanized treated. In this way, the zinc coating will not destroyed during fabrication and suppliers better corrosion and rust performance and longer service life.

&#; Zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire before fabrication. The aluminum added into the coating can supply additional protection for the gabion mattress. The content of aluminum is different. The Zn-5 Al-MM steel wire means 5% aluminum and 95% zinc coating, which is also called Galfan coating. It can also be Zn-10 Al-MM, which refers to 10 % aluminum and 90% zinc coating.

&#; PVC coated wire before fabrication. Cover the steel wire with PVC film, which can be green, gray and various other colors and then fabricate the gabion as usual. The PVC-coated material can not only supply excellent corrosion and rust resistance, but it can also make the revet mattress colorfully and beautifully. The PVC-coated wire is just suitable for woven reno mattress only.

&#; PVC coating after fabrication. For a beautiful surface and blending with surrounding environments, the welded gabion mattress will be PVC coating surface treated after fabrication. It is widely used for different landscape construction applications and is popular with artists.

Different Styles of Reno Mattress:

Reno mattresses can be fabricated in different technologies, which are woven or welded into different mesh types and specs.

&#; Welded reno mattress. The main application of welded reno mattresses is for decoration, such as landscape construction, fireplace and planter applications. It can be used for slope protection as the woven reno mattress.

&#; Woven reno mattress. The woven reno mattress is a functional product, which is widely used for slope protection, coastal protection, river bank protection, channel lining, revetment and other protective applications.

Features of Anti-Corrosive Reno Mattress:

&#; Flexible. It can be made into different lengths, widths and heights to suit different applications.

&#; Corrosion and rust resistance. Galvanized steel wire, PVC coating steel wire and zinc-aluminum alloy wire all can supply excellent corrosion and rust resistance performance for durable and longer service life.

&#; High tensile strength. The reno mattresses are made of high-quality steel wire, which has high tensile strength to resist the high impact from tidewater, and flood.

&#; Environmental friendly: Reno mattresses are filled with stones Meeting certain requirements to form protection structures. In the waterfront environment, the voids in the rock fill become progressively filled with silt, promoting vegetation growth which is essential to the preservation and maintenance of the ecological balance of the surrounding environment.

&#; Permeability: The stone fill allows the water to seep through the structure while retaining the soil, therefore no additional drainage is required to relieve the hydrostatic pressures. The Reno mattress ensures natural water exchange with the natural groundwater, further strengthening the environmental effects.

&#; Integrity: The reno mattress is constituted by independent units, but each adjacent unit has steel wire twisted, So it has good integrity.

Applications of Anti-Corrosive Reno Mattress:

&#; River bank. v Channel lining.

&#; Foreshore foot protection.

&#; Revetments.

&#; Spillways.

&#; Weirs.

&#; Stream banks.

&#; Sea wall.

&#; Stable slopes.

&#; Retaining wall.

&#; Highway embankments.

&#; Railway cuttings.
