Gabion mattresses are manufactured in the same way as gabions, however the plan area is large in comparison to their depth, typically units are a maximum of 300mm deep.
The purpose of a mattress unit is to provide protection on water courses and coastal revetments against scour and erosion.
Mattresses are also used in conjunction with gabions as a scour protection to prevent undermining of gabion retaining structures in coastal or river applications and as a foundation.
