Concrete mattress

Durable and quality-assured erosion control with a wide range of applications.

Tecomatic is the market leader in concrete mattresses

Tecomatic is Sweden’s market leader in concrete mattresses and has been working with these solutions since the early 1980s. Together with our customers, we continuously develop our products and refine the applications of concrete mattresses to deliver the best possible solutions.

We offer three different types of concrete mattresses, which can be combined with our other products to provide complete and tailored solutions for our customers.

A cost-effective and sustainable solution

Concrete mattresses are a reliable solution for erosion control in areas where flowing water causes material erosion. Applications include protecting bridge supports, slopes, power stations, road culverts, tube bridges, and ports, often as propeller protection. Additionally, they can be used as a cover to contain environmentally hazardous contaminated soil, preventing its spread to surrounding waters.

We customize our concrete mattresses to meet the specific requirements and conditions of each project, providing complete solutions that include consultation, design, and ongoing service.

At Tecomatic, we have extensive experience in sewing and working with large textiles. It is a valuable craft that allows us to customize each solution.

Tecomatic concrete mattresses require significantly less input material compared to other structures such as stone erosion control, reverse filters, or gabions. They are a time-efficient solution, as all our concrete mattresses are sewn in our own production facilities in Kalmar. By managing both production and installation in-house, we minimize the risk of production delays, unnecessary costs, and excessive transportation. Tecomatic personnel are always on-site to carry out projects, ensuring high-quality and durable erosion protection.

Our different mattresses

Why should I choose a concrete mattress instead of stone erosion protection?

Sustainable and quality-assured

Traditional stone erosion protection, also known as reverse protection, requires high maintenance and cannot match the safety and reliability of concrete mattresses.

Concrete mattresses, made from geoduct and concrete, offer lifelong durability. Installation is carried out by experienced divers who ensure precise placement and a secure seal where needed.

In addition, stone is an expensive material that involves multiple transportation steps—from the extraction site to a stone crusher and then to the final destination—making it less efficient and more costly.
