Traditional riverbank protections, like rip-rap, require significant material due to imprecise placement and lack of confinement. Maccaferri’s mattress solutions—Reno Mattress Plus and RenoMac Plus—offer superior performance, reducing material use, costs, and environmental impact while ensuring durable and effective hydraulic protection.
Sustainable Engineering
Reno Mattress Plus and RenoMac Plus combine sustainability and performance. The PoliMac® coating ensures exceptional durability, even in the most aggressive conditions, reducing maintenance and extending the product’s life cycle. Rigorously tested, it does not release harmful substances into water. By using natural stone, these solutions integrate seamlessly into aquatic environments, enhancing biodiversity. With over 70% less material usage compared to rip-rap, they deliver the same performance with a lower environmental footprint.
Reno Mattress Plus
Invented in the 1960s, Reno Mattress Plus has been continuously improved through decades of research and testing. In collaboration with Colorado State University, we have perfected its performance to deliver unmatched hydraulic protection. By minimizing material consumption, it cuts emissions by over 80% compared to rip-rap, making it an ideal solution for sustainable riverbank protection.
RenoMac Plus
Building on the success of Reno Mattress Plus, RenoMac Plus delivers the same sustainability and performance benefits in a pre-filled solution. Designed for challenging underwater installations, it is ideal for quay protection and bridge foundations. Tested in partnership with Deltares Water Institute, it is the first and only solution validated specifically for quay protection applications.
