Reno mat is a hexagonal mesh woven by low-carbon steel wire or PVC coated on the surface, mainly used for slope protection, riverbed bottom scouring prevention, etc.
Reno mat, also known as stone cage mat, gabion mat, refers to a mat-shaped engineering component composed of machine-woven double-twisted hexagonal metal mesh with a thickness much smaller than the length and width. After the Reno mat is filled with block stones and other fillers and connected into one, it becomes an anti-scouring structure mainly used for water conservancy embankments, banks, seamans, etc., with the advantages of flexibility and adaptability to the foundation.
Reno mat is a mesh box structure with a thickness of 0.17-0.3m, which is used to fill stones on site. It is mainly used as a slope protection structure for river channels, banks, and roadbed slopes. It can not only prevent the river bank from being damaged by water flow, wind and waves, but also realize the natural convection exchange function between the water body and the soil under the slope, and the ecological balance. Planting green on the slope can increase the landscape and greening effect.
The difference between Reno mats and gabion boxes and stone cage boxes is that the height of the mat is lower and the structure is flat and large; the diameter of the coated steel wire is thinner than that of gabion, and there are generally two types: double partition (wire diameter 2.0mm) and single partition (2.2mm). The commonly used is the double partition Reno mat, which has the advantages of convenient construction, effective prevention of stone collapse when used as slope protection, and increased anti-scouring ability of the structure.
Features of Reno mats: 1. Improve the stability of the riverbed slope
2. Protect the riverbed from scouring
3. Provide a predetermined value of the riverbank roughness coefficient (m)
4. Greening and ecological protection of slope protection and bank protection
5. Convenient construction
