Concrete Mattress
Solid protection that stabilizes and secures substrates and structures
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)
