Concrete mattresses and curtains

Here's a few pictures and a link to remind myself to look further into the product of Pro-Dive Marine Services. The company has some really specialized flexible concrete products for the off-shore use and underwater pours. They work in conjunction with FoundOcean ("FoundOcean is the leading subsea and offshore grouting specialist for the global energy construction industries" - now you know).

Massiv Mesh
We learn from the web site about the company's Massiv Mesh that it is a flexible, concrete mattress consisting of hexagonal concrete elements linked together with high strength non-degradable polypropylene rope.

And about Flexiweight: 
"Flexiweight is a concrete mattress consisting of hexagonal section bars, reinforced with steel and linked by polypropylene rope. Flexiweight is flexible, robust, designed for ease of installation and available in a range of sizes and concrete densities.

Flexiweight has an established track record for such applications as Stabilization, Crossovers, Trawlboard, Cable protection and Scour prevention."

[Fabric formwork - underwater mattresses]

About their version of fabric formwork we learn:
"Engineering fabric formwork offers a considerable range of possibilities to the offshore industry. In addition to the standard pipeline supports, specially designed fabric formwork is supplied for specific requirements, including:
  • Mattresses for load distribution
  • Pipeline crossings
  • Riser supports
  • Anti-scour systems
  • Fabric seals for structural work in platforms
These varied systems have been used in water depths of 340 meters; deeper waters are within the scope of the plant."

Concrete curtain
I really like the huge concrete meshes, which greatly outsizes this little but intriguing concrete curtain by the Viennese Architectural Design office Mumex, as seen on Materia:

  1. ULO Systems looks like a competitor, but they don`t put a lot on their website www.ulosystems.com

    Proserve Ltd. also has some info on their fabric formwork solutions, but not much.

  4. It is then positioned in a mildew and heated to vulcanize. The air trapped inside the liquid brings about the holes or main of the mattress. The Talalay technique is equivalent to the Dunlop but has versions in the approach which offers them extra management on how the cores are formed. adjustable beds ratings
