Economy
The gabion and Reno mattress is not strict with the base. The base is not requested to be buried deep and reduce the cubage of excavation.
Due to the short time of the construction of the gabion and Reno mattress, this can save the labour cost and total project cost. The gabion structure will be more economical than one of the traditional project.
Environment Compatibility
The structure of the Gabion and Reno mattress can minimize the impact on the environment.
Permeability: Reno mattress, gabion structure with good permeability is conducive to maintainng long-term stability of slope.
Promoting Deposition: Good performance to promote deposition on the surface of natural vegetation to grow rapidly, making the structure blend with the surrounding environment, with good ecological effect.
Construction Convenience
It is easy for Reno mattress and gabion assembling in the construction site. With cobble stones from the river or the stone pieces from the quarry site, filled into the gabion boxes by machine or by man power without any facilities. The efficiency of filing the gabion is 2-3 times comparing to the grouted stone pitching. It is important for the limited construction time due to freeze-up in northern areas, the Reno mattress can be used in winter on thick ice as well.
Structural Integrity
Woven by the double twisted or triple wire mesh machine, if one twisted wire is loosen or broken, the neighboring wire is still well connected.
Pliability
Reno mattress, gabion products with high flexibility to adapt the riverbed deformation.
Durability
High quality steel wire we use is strictly as per international standards (EN,ASTM). Galfan(Zn-5%AI) can reach about 50 or 60 -year life time, even 120-year after PVC coated. Design for flexible structures strengthen the secure whole body, stablity and durability, Also vegetation growing further improve the durability.
