TanRu Concrete Mold Mattress is the product of choice for erosion control or lining solutions that require a constant thickness, concrete cross-section or impermeable concrete mattress. The unique manufacturing method, involving the incorporation of vertical ties, gives the geotextile encasement a dimensional stability that is unmatched worldwide. This dimensional stability guarantees a constant concrete cross-section even under difficult installation conditions, i.e., with uneven bases or underwater applications. The adaptability of the concrete mattress system gives it a clear edge over all conventional concrete solutions. Through custom-fabrication, the mattresses can also be made to withstand penetrations and complex geometries.
Filter Point Concrete Linings with filtration points (drains) provide erosion-resistant, permeable concrete linings for ditches, channels, canals, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marinas, and protected port and harbor areas.
Filter Point Concrete Linings have a cobbled surface and a relatively high coefficient of hydraulic friction in order to achieve lower flow velocities and to reduce wave run-up. The filtration points provide for the relief of hydrostatic uplift pressures, increasing the system’s stability.
Filter Point Concrete Linings were the first type of fabric formed concrete system developed. In 1965, a Dutch patent was issued for “fabric formed slope paving.” The form suggested by this patent was later refined to create the first “filter point” lining.
Advantages:
Combined lining and erosion control
Vertical ties arrangement maximizes filling height
Constant thickness, also on uneven base
Low hydraulic roughness compared to other concrete mattresses
Project-specific customisation
Manufactured thickness 10 cm to 25 cm
