RENO MATTRESS

The Reno Mattresses, like gabions, are wire fabric containers, uniformly partitioned, of variable size, interconnected with other similar containers and filled with stone at the site of use, to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, sea walls, channel linings, revetments and weirs for earth retention. All the physical and mechanical properties of HESLY Reno Mattresses meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM A975.

The Hesly Reno Mattresses are relatively small in height in relation to the lateral dimension of a gabion and are generally used for channel linings. Our gabions and mattresses are manufactured from welded wire mesh and assembled with our preformed spiral binder (3" pitch). We suggest the use of pre-formed stiffeners at each exposed face of the gabion.

Advantages of HESLY Gabion Mattresses:

• Gabion mattress strength lies in the double twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh, which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges.
• The base section is divided into compartments to restrict the movement of stone and strengthen the structure
• The lid is supplied as a separate panel
• The wire will not unravel even when cut
• Easily assembled, requiring no specialized labor and using nearby rock for fill
• Free drainage and 30-35% voids allow vegetation to grow

The first hydraulic erosion control intervention was on the Reno River, near Bologna, Italy, over 130 years ago. It is there that the term Reno Mattress was developed.
