Incomat®
Incomat® concrete mattresses are used for erosion protection in hydraulic engineering. They consist of two high-strength polyamide and/or polyethylene woven layers connected together.
Basic info
A 50mm to 600mm space is created between the two layers by interweaving or the use of spacers, which then acts as a flexible mold. Incomat® mattresses can be filled on site with pumpable materials, such as cement grout. Depending on their layout and structure, Incomat® mattresses come in two basic types. They can be permeable, flexible or rigid with a non-uniform thickness, or impermeable, rigid and with a constant thickness. Incomat® is an economic erosion protection system with many applications in land improvement, hydraulic engineering and coastal protection.
We can supply various versions of the product, each tailored to suit the particular application:
- Incomat® Standard for sealing and erosion protection of settlement-free underlying soils
- Incomat® Flex for high hydraulic loads. They are permeable mattresses that can accommodate settlement
- Incomat® Crib - grid mattresses that can support vegetation - for low hydraulic loads
- Incomat® Filter-point mattresses - water-permeable, rigid mattresses, recommended for medium hydraulic loads
Incomat® mats can be installed without problem above or below water.
Typical applications:
- Erosion protection of dykes, groins, river and canal banks against wave attack and flowing water
- Sealing of watercourses and lagoons
- Erosion protection in the intertidal zone
- "Green" lining for freshwater lagoons and ponds
