manufacture of concrete mattresses, but is a complete
solution including consultancy support and specific lifting-
frames for faster, safer and cost effective installations.
Consultancy Support
Maccaferri offers:
• Mattress concept design - Customised mattress
dimensions and concrete mix, specifically for the project.
• Mattress stability analyses - Analysis based upon Plan View
local project parameters including hydrological data,
pipe or cable features and wave and current forces.
• Mattress lifting arrangement - The parabolic
deformation of a mattress during lifting can be configured
to establish safe conditions for mattress handling.

Installation Frames
When working offshore, contractors need reliable and
effective equipment, enabling them to focus on the job
in hand. Maccaferri offers ACBM installation frames that
satisfy this demand;
• Manual - For onshore mattress handling and diver-
assisted installation
• Automatic - ROV friendly for deep-water installation
Automatic frames feature mechanical release systems that
can be activated by Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).
Both automatic and manual release frames are designed,
manufactured and certified to provide reliable, rapid and
safe mattress handling on and off-shore.
Customised frames for the deployment of multiple, or
special arrangements of mattresses, are available upon
request.
