Reno Mattress Plus
Cost-effective riverbank hydraulic protection
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.

CIAWI DAM DROP STRUCTURE
Indonesia
Ciawi Dam is a dry dam located in West Java, Indonesia. The infrastructure is planned to have a capacity of 6,45 m3 and expected to reduce the flood discharge of 160 m3/sec. The purpose of this dam is to reduce the amount of rainwater from the upstream so that the city in the lowland area doesn’t flood. As a part of the dam construction, there is an existing river flow that needs to be diverted. The original design was using the heavy galvanize as the coating of the wire mesh or concrete structure as the alternative. The total length of the drop structure is 54,2 meters and 18 meters of total height.

INDOCEMENT FACTORY RIVERBANK PROTECTION
Indonesia
Indocement factory is located in the South of Jakarta and it is the second-largest cement producer in Indonesia. PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tb in cooperation with Heidelberg Technology Center aimed to provide protection against the erosion affecting the banks of the river flowing adjacent to their cement production plant. During the rainy season, the riverbanks were severely damaged by erosion processes which were threatening the plant structures nearby (conveyor belts and storage tanks). The ongoing erosion had to be minimized through an engineered river lining.
