As an innovative leader in gabion products, BMP provides durable gabion mattresses that meet international standards and ensure long-term structural integrity. Designed with flexibility, strength, and environmental compatibility, gabion mattresses have become essential for various civil engineering and environmental projects.
What is a Gabion Mattress?
A Gabion Mattress is a wire fabric container filled with stones or other suitable materials, designed to form flexible, permeable, and monolithic structures. Unlike standard gabion boxes, gabion mattresses feature a lower height, making them particularly useful for channel linings, riverbank protection, and erosion control in areas where a flatter profile is necessary.

Features of Gabion Mattresses
- Flexibility: The structure adapts to local subsidence and foundation deformation, ensuring stability.
- Durability: Gabion mattresses combine robust steel wire and hard rock fill, providing exceptional long-term durability.
- Environmental Compatibility: Over time, voids in the stone fill promote vegetation growth, enhancing ecological balance.
- Permeability: The stone fill allows water to seep through while retaining soil, eliminating the need for additional drainage systems.
- Integrity: Strong wire twisting between adjacent units ensures a cohesive structure.
Applications of Gabion Mattresses
Gabion mattresses find extensive use in the following applications:
- Riverbank and stream bank protection
- Channel linings and spillways
- Foreshore foot protection
