Concrete Mattress

Solid protection that stabilizes and secures substrates and structures

There has been a significant increase in the use of fabric formwork, especially in projects along the coast and on the seabed. The main reason for this growing interest has been greater awareness of woven fabrics made from high-strength multifilament synthetic fibers, which offer a wide range of applications, long service life, and easy installation.

What is a Concrete Mattress?

A concrete mattress is a flexible cover used for stabilizing embankments, slopes, and riverbanks. It is suitable for erosion and flood control, dam construction, capping of contaminated materials, and a variety of underwater concrete works. In addition, concrete mattresses can be used for the protection and covering of pipelines.

The mattresses are constructed with spacer threads that connect the upper and lower layers, ensuring a uniform thickness once filled with concrete. The standard width is 5 meters, and we offer thicknesses ranging from 10 to 33 cm – corresponding to unit weights from 220 to 750 kg/m².

Other dimensions are available upon request.

INCOMAT® STANDARD

The Incomat Standard concrete mattress has a wide range of applications as erosion protection where flowing water causes problems with material erosion.

Combined lining and erosion control
Vertical spacer threads maximize filling height
Constant thickness, even on uneven ground
Low hydraulic roughness compared to other concrete mattresses
Project-specific customization
Thicknesses from 8 cm to 56 cm
Classified as non-hazardous under M Geok E 2016 (Guiding Paper on the Use of Geosynthetics in Earthworks for Roadbuilding Projects) and BBodSchV (German Federal Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Ordinance).
Tested in accordance with German guidelines for the hygienic assessment of elastomers in contact with drinking water (Elastomer Guideline).

INCOMAT® FILTERPOINT

Incomat Filterpoint provides the ideal erosion control solution for applications exposed to low hydraulic loads that require a permeable concrete mattress. The mattress consists of a two-layer woven fabric, with the two woven layers joined by an even distribution of integrated filter points. The mattress adapts to the bed profile, thereby reducing the risk of void formation beneath the cover.

Permeable concrete mattress
Regular distribution of filter points over a large area
Erosion control for stable subgrades under low hydraulic loads
Relief of excess pore water pressure beneath the concrete mattress
Classified as non-hazardous under M Geok E 2016 (Guiding Paper on the Use of Geosynthetics in Earthworks for Roadbuilding Projects) and BBodSchV (German Federal Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Ordinance)

INCOMAT® PIPELINE COVER

The Incomat Pipeline Cover (IPC) can be used where pipelines require protection against mechanical impacts or buoyancy. The IPC system stands out for its fast and efficient installation. Due to the quick assembly and optimized concreting process, it also helps to accelerate project progress.

Protects pipelines against buoyancy and external loads
No formwork installation required on site
Hassle-free installation
Rapid filling in casting sections up to 5 m long
Tested in accordance with German guidelines for the hygienic assessment of elastomers in contact with drinking water (Elastomer Guideline)
Classified as non-hazardous under M Geok E 2016 (Guiding Paper on the Use of Geosynthetics in Earthworks for Roadbuilding Projects) and BBodSchV (German Federal Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Ordinance)
