PRODUCTS -
Biodegradable Products
Maccaferri’s BioMac of erosion protection blankets are made of natural fibres; jute, straw, coir, sisal and are supplied in a roll. BioMac blankets are flexible and are laid on the soil surface to provide immediate erosion protection to a newly laid soil layer, or an existing vulnerable slope.
CubiMac Prefilled Gabions CubiMac are baskets manufactured from robust double twist steel wire mesh 8x10 type Polimac® coated steel wire 3.4 mm diameter. CubiMac has been specifically developed for their use in construction sites where the in-situ filling is not possible or inconvenient (i.e. installation underwater). CubiMac can be filled using a special frame combined with a shaking table to ensure the stones compaction by vibration; the units are equipped with polyester round slings to enable easy handling using standard lifting devices (i.e. crane).
Gabions
Maccaferri’s DT gabion is a double-twisted wire mesh container of variable sizes uniformly partitioned into internal cells. They are interconnected with other similar units and filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as mass gravity walls, channel linings, revetments and weirs for geotechnical, hydraulic and erosion control projects. What sets Maccaferri’s gabion baskets apart are their high-quality manufacturing with 3rd-party certifications, heavy-duty galvanising, and the unique PoliMac polymeric coating.
MacDrain® drainage geocomposites replace traditional gravel or aggregate-based drainage systems within construction.
High strength ParaLink® geogrids, offering high strength with very low strain characteristics, used in conjunction with the piles, can take the place of the embankment foundation slab. These grids are placed in a single layer within a granular raft, immediately in contact with the pile caps.
Maccaferri’s ParaGrid® uniaxial geogrids are used in many soil reinforcement applications; in combination with the Terramesh® range; in our MacWall segmental blockwork reinforced soil wall; in traditional wrapped face soil reinforced slopes.
Maccaferri’s ParaDrain® is a unique high-performance geogrid that combines soil reinforcement and drainage functions in one product. ParaDrain® has been designed with sustainability in mind; it enables the reuse of marginal fills that would normally be disposed of off-site and replaced with quarried materials.
MacMat® geomats protects vulnerable soil surfaces from erosion by rain, stormwater runoff, hydraulic action or wind. It supports the revegetation of soil slopes by reinforcing delicate root systems as they develop.
MacLine® GCL is a geosynthetic clay liner which when hydrated on-site, provides a very low permeability lining system for use in waterproofing systems or geological barriers.
Green Terramesh® is an environmentally friendly, modular system used to form vegetated (green) faced soil-reinforced slopes (RSS) and embankments. It consists of prefabricated units of double-twisted wire mesh lined with an erosion control blanket and stiffened with a welded mesh panel. Pre-formed steel braces are supplied to be connected at the job site to maintain the unit to the required slope angle during backfilling operations, removing the need for any external formwork or shuttering.
HELLOMAC is an alert system developed to monitor rockfall protection installations, particularly in remote areas. HELLOMAC detects events on the rockfall installation (boulder impact, stresses, sagging and the like.) and sends real-time notifications via App, Email and SMS.Due to its compact dimensions and robust shell structure, made with a special metal alloy, it is able to withstand aggressive environmental conditions and considerable loads. Not only is it simple to install, but it does not require calibration.
The MacWall® segmental blockwork retaining wall system combines the aesthetics of masonry walls with the engineered reassurance of reinforced earth. Segmental block retaining walls (SRWs) are increasing in popularity due to their ease of construction, cost-effectiveness and versatility.
Mineral Terramesh® is a unique and simple-to-install soil reinforcement system with a sloping rockface finish. It is suitable for where a modern, clean-faced aesthetic is preferred. Mineral Terramesh® can be used either alone or in conjunction with the company’s ParaGrid® or ParaDrain® geogrids depending on the height of the reinforced soil structure.
Our Reno Mattress® Plus are units manufactured from double-twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh and are divided into uniformly portioned cells. The Reno mattress® Plus are filled with stones at the project to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as riverbank protection and channel linings for erosion control projects.
Maccaferri Road Mesh is a planar grid material used for the structural reinforcement of asphalt pavements and provides lateral restraint to the asphalt, improving resistance to rutting and extending fatigue life, minimising disruption through pot-holes and resurfacing works.
Rockfall Drapery Mesh DT drapery mesh is a core component of Maccaferri’s MacRO rockfall mitigation and natural hazard protection application area. It is part of a range of mesh systems that are selected according to analysis of project site conditions and client requirements. DT Mesh is engineered from double-twisted hexagonal woven steel wire and is used as a drapery system to prevent rocks and debris from falling onto roads and railways. It has been in use for over 50 years.
Steelgrid HR The Steelgrid HR System is an innovative complete system for rockfall mitigation and slope consolidation works. It is used as a drapery system or as a high stiffness (low extension) bolted facing when anticipated loads exceed the capability of traditional DT Mesh. Steelgrid is a high-strength, high-stiffness composite combining the versatility and practical benefits of double-twist mesh with the exceptional stiffness and mechanical durability of high-tensile steel cables in a single homogenous structure.
The Terramesh® modular reinforced soil system is used to form a gabion-faced MSE wall. The facing section of the unit is formed by connecting a back panel and diaphragms to the main fascia unit, creating the rectangular-shaped box used for stone confinement. The geogrid reinforcement, fascia and lid are all one continuous panel of mesh. Units are supplied in standard lengths, requiring no cuts on site.
Following on-site assembly, the fascia unit is filled with suitable gabion stone fill. Structural backfill is then placed upon the soil reinforcement geogrids and compacted. Further technical information, image galleries and product specifications are available on the Maccaferri website or via the BPi Download Library.
