Geo-Mattress
Geo-Mattress
Geo-Matress© is a geotextile mattress formed by filling the interior of two layers of polypropylene geotextile with fine aggregate concrete.
Functions
In river and streambed rehabilitation works, it provides rapid construction, eliminates the need for formwork, and enables projects to be completed with minimum labor and cost.
River training
Coastal protection
Deep sea discharge
Aesthetic solution against soil erosion
Mats create filter points by being stitched at regular intervals. These points serve as filters where water can drain and release water pressure behind or beneath the bed. The small pore size prevents the transport of fine soil particles.
Properties / Features
-
It provides a much thinner coating compared to stone revetments and mortar layers
​
​
-
Geo Matress provides an aesthetic appearance
​
​
-
It can be easily mounted on steep slopes without any difficulty
​
​
-
It easily conforms to the underlying layer during filling, reducing the potential for erosion
​
​
-
It easily adapts to complex geometric shapes
​
​
-
It provides uniform coating thickness at every point regardless of the slope
​
​
-
The filter point bed disrupts hydraulic energy with its undulated surface, reducing water velocity and diminishing wave flow
​
-
Impermeable Geo-mattress provides low hydraulic resistance with its gentle slope surface
​
​
-
Installation possible underwater, simple on land
​
​
-
5,000 m² surface coverage can be achieved daily
​
​
-
It can be used as an economical alternative to traditional methods (riprap, mortar layers, gabions, and concrete slabs)
