Reynolds mat is made of excellent low carbon steel wire or surface plasticized pvc machine woven hexagonal mesh, mainly used for slope protection, riverbed bottoming scour prevention and so on.
Reynolds mat is also called gabion mat, gabion mat, refers to the machine woven double stranded hexagonal metal mesh surface constitutes the thickness is much less than the length and width of the mat-shaped engineering components. Reynolds gabions are connected into one piece after being loaded with filler materials such as blocks and stones, and become the anti-scour structure mainly used for water conservancy embankment, bank slope, sea man and so on, which has the advantages of flexibility and adaptability to the foundation.
Reynolds mat is a mesh box structure with a thickness of 0.17-0.3m, which is used to fill stones at the site. Mainly used as river, bank slope, roadbed slope protection structure. It can not only prevent the river bank from being damaged by water flow, wind and wave, but also realize the natural convection and exchange function between the water body and the soil body under the slope, so as to achieve ecological balance. Greening on the slope can add landscape and greening effect.
The difference between Reynolds mat and gabion box and gabion box is that the height of the mat is lower, the structure form is flat and large; the diameter of the plated steel wire is finer than that of gabion, and there are generally two kinds of double spacer (steel wire diameter of 2.0mm) and single spacer (2.2mm). Commonly used for double spacer Reynolds mat, the advantages of its construction is convenient, do slope protection can effectively prevent the collapse of the stone, increase the structure of the scouring ability.
Features of Reynolds mat
1. improve the stability of riverbed slope
2. protect the riverbed from scouring
3. provide the predetermined value of riverbank roughness coefficient (m)
4. greening and ecological protection of slope and bank protection
5. Convenient construction
