Gabion Mattresses

Climate protection and the sustainability of construction practices are also becoming increasingly important for hydraulic works. The preservation of natural mineral resources and the reduction of transportation emissions play a central role within this context.

The inherent necessity to safeguard the precious resource of water, which frequently comes into direct contact with the structures, imposes rigorous technical requirements upon the building products and system solutions. Simultaneously, it demands the utilisation of sustainable building materials.

River mattresses, also known as stone mattresses, were developed as a resource-efficient and vegetatable solution for the diverse requirements in the field of bank and bed protection. Thanks to lower material use and shorter transport distances, they reduce the resource input of bank protection measures compared to conventional construction methods.
