RENO MATTRESS
GALFAN & POLYMER COATED
Reno mattresses are units manufactured from double twisted Lid
hexagonal woven steel wire mesh 6x8 type as per EN 10223-
3:2013. The management and production system is certified in
compliance with ISO 9001. Diaphragm
Reno mattresses are filled with stones at the project site to form
flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as river bank
protections and channel linings for erosion control projects.
Reno mattresses are divided into uniformly portioned cells by
internal diaphragms. In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh H
panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter
(Table 3). Dimensions and sizes of Galfan and polymer coated
L
gabions are shown in Table 1.
W
Steel wire mesh
The nominal tensile strength of the wire mesh shall be as per Table
2; test done as per EN 10223-3:2013.
The punch strength of the wire mesh shall be as per table 2; test Figure 1
done as per UNI 11437.
When the mesh is tested at 50% of the nominal tensile strength in
accordance to EN 10223-3:2013, the wires will not show cracks in
the organic coating within the double twists region.
Wire The tolerance on the mesh

The steel wire used in the manufacture of the unit is galvanized with size ‘M’ being the distance
between the axis of two M
Galfan, a Zn-5%Al alloy.
A polymer coating with a nominal thickness of 0.50 mm is then consecutive twists, is
applied to provide added protection for use in hydraulic works, according to EN 10223-3:
polluted environments or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. 2013
The standard specifications of mesh-wire are shown in Tables 2 and
3. All tests on wire must be performed prior to manufacturing the
mesh.
1. Tensile strength: the wire used for the manufacture of gabions Figure 2
shall have a tensile strength between 350-550 N/mm2 as per EN
10223-3:2013. Wire tolerances (Table 4) are in accordance with
EN 10218 (Class T1). Abrasion resistance: the percentage of the weight
2. Elongation: Elongation at fracture shall not be less than 8%, on loss shall be less than 12%, according to ASTM D1242-
a gauge length of 250 mm as per EN 10223-3: 2013. 92.
3. Galfan coating: minimum quantities of Galfan (Table 4) meet Creeping corrosion: max. penetration of corrosion of
the requirements of EN 10244-2 (Table 2 - Class A). the wire from a square cut end shall be 1 in. (25 mm)
4. Adhesion of Galfan: the adhesion of the Galfan coating to the when the specimen has been immersed for 2,000 hours
wire shall be such that, when the wire is wrapped six turns in a 5% solution HCl (hydrochloric acid 12 Be).
around a mandrel having four times the diameter of the wire, it
does not flake or crack when rubbing it with the bare fingers, The accelerated ageing tests are:
according to EN 10244. Salt spray test: test period 3,000 hours, test
5. Outwearing accelerated aging test: when subjected to test in method ASTM B117-94;
sulphur dioxide environment (EN ISO 6988) after 28 cycles of Exposure to UV rays: test period 3,000 hours
discontinuous test the mesh shall not show more than 5% of at 145°F (63°C), test method ASTM D1499-92a
DBR (Dark Brown Rust). and ASTM G23-93 apparatus Type E;
Brittleness temperature: no higher than 15°F (- 9°C),
or lower temperature when specified by the purchaser,
P.V.C. (Polyvinyl Chloride) Coating when tested in accordance with ASTM D746.
The technical characteristics and the resistance of the PVC to
ageing meet the relevant standards. The main values for the PVC The properties after ageing tests shall be as follows:
material are as follows: Appearance of coated mesh: no cracking, stripping or
air bubbles, and no appreciable variation in color;
Specific gravity: 1.30-1.35 kg/dm3 in accordance with ASTM D792 Specific Gravity: variations shall not exceed 6%;
Table 1; Hardness: variations shall not exceed 10%;
Hardness: between 50 and 60 Shore D, according to ASTM D 2240 Tensile strength: variations shall not exceed 25%;
–91; Modulus of elasticity: variations shall not exceed
Tensile strength: not less than 20.6 MPa, according to ASTM
D412-92;
Modulus of elasticity: not less than 18.6 MPa, in accordance with
ASTM D412-92;
Maccaferri reserves the right to amend product specifications without notice and specifiers are requested to
check as to the validity of the specifications they are using.
