MACCAFERRI are a global company who dramatically changed civil engineering´s landscape after inventing Gabions 140 years ago. Our highly-specialised professionals are trained in designing and developing complex solutions in the civil engineering, geotechnical and environmental construction markets. We do not simply sell products we strive to be the leading technical reference for design and development in advanced projects and are strongly committed to solving our clients´problems. Today we are the undisputed leader in the manufacturing and supply of gabions and associated wire mesh products to the global construction industry.
Our solutions start from the design phase of the project with the simple aim of solving a problem and proceed through all the stages of development - manufacturing, designing and installing solutions and end with a close-knit, multi-level integration result.
Environmental protection is an essential factor for us and we are ethically engaged. Maccaferri´s solutions are better as we design and develop them with an eye on quality of life and on preserving the environment and our communities for future generations. We have always stood out for the reliability, transparency and professionalism of our management while abiding by all pertinent laws.

PRODUCTS -
Biodegradable Products
Biomac blankets are used for surface erosion protection and provide immediate protection to vulnerable slopes to the effects of erosion such as wind, rain and surface run off and placed onto topsoiled and seeded slopes.
Flood Protection Barriers
FlexMat DT is used as a rapid deploy barrier for flood protection raising embankments and providing buttressing suppport for temporary works. The mesh is reinforced with vertical steel rods and internally lined with a non-woven geotextile sleeve.
Gabions
Maccaferri Gabions are cages which are engineered from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh with numerous uses and are typically used to form flexible, permeable and monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, hydraulic control structures and erosion protection. Maccaferri Jumbo Gabions are used on large scale civil engineering products and identical in concept to our regular gabions. Our gabions can also be used for streambank stabilization, restoration and erosion products.
Noise Barriers
Green Reef and Greensonic are a new concept of noise barrier. Both systems support numerous plant species which can suit the particular enviornment in which the barrier is to be placed.
Geocomposites - MacDrain
Maccaferri have a broad range of drainage geocomposite for geosynthetics drainage systems, are efficient and can be applied to several situations.
Geogrid - MacGrid
Our MacGrid are deformed or non deformed grid like polymeric material formed by intersecting ribs joined at the junctions. The fundamental working mechanism is by friction. In the extruded grids a confining effect over the soil particals that lodge in the openings of the grid itself can be taken into account.
Geomats
MacMat are made of synthetic material filaments to form a highly deformable layer and can be used on slopes, along the banks of canals and river courses.
Geomembrane - MacLine
MacLine is a very low permeability bituminous geotextile membrane liner or barrier.
Green Terramesh
Terramesh is an environmentally friendly modular system used to form vegetated faced soil reinforced slopes and embankments.
Soil Reinforcement Structures
Maccaferri MacRes system has been developed to create vertical concrete faced soil reinforcement structures. It is used extensively in infrastructure, mine works and anywhere that requires a vertical faced structure capable of resisting high loads.
Segmental Retaining Walls
Maccafferri MacWall is a segmental blockwork retaining wall system. Segmental block retaining walls are increasing in popularity due to their ease of construction, cost-effectiveness and versatility.
Reno Mattresses
Our Reno Mattresses are units manufactured from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh and are divided into uniformly portioned cells. The Reno mattresses are filled with stones at the project to form flexible, permeable, monolothic structures such as river bank protection and channel linings for erosion control projects.
Road Mesh
Maccaferri Road Mesh is planar grid material used for the structural reinforcement of asphalt pavements and provides lateral restraint to the asphalt, improving resistance to rutting and extending fatigue life, minimising disruption through pot-holes and resurfacing works.
Rockfall & Debris Flow Barriers
Maccaferri Rockfall Barriers are designed to catch falling rocks and boulders before they fall onto infrastructures or other developments. They are supplied in a kit form with all components (except ground anchors).
Maccaferri Steelgrid is a high strength steel geocomposite with exceptional stiffness and mechanical durability of high tensile steel cables.
Terramesh System
Maccaferri Terramesh System is a modular system used to form rock faced reinforced soil walls and embankments and has been used globally on some of the most significant infrastructure schemes.

Anti-Burrowing Mesh solution for major re-build of UK railway line
Anti-Burrowing Mesh for major re-build of UK railway line
Maccaferri supply Anti-Burrowing mesh along a re-build of a UK railway line
The East West Rail Alliance (EWRA) is a large rail project which plans to utilise the previously built and abandoned varsity line to re-build an upgraded line that links Oxford and Cambridge via Bicester, Milton Keynes and Bedford avoiding London.
The planned route covers an extensive distance consisting of diverse environmental challenges. As you progress through this countryside route, there is a variety of wildlife including a large amount of Badgers. Badgers are fantastic diggers and often can have many burrows at any given time. Occasionally badgers decide to burrow underneath live rail embankments which can lead to collapse and delays in the line. A solution which detours badger burrows from the rail lines and is also environmentally friendly, needs to be found.
Over the years Maccaferri have completed extensive studies showing that our Anti-Burrowing Double Twist Mesh provides environmentally friendly active protection against large rodents. The PVC Double Twist 6×8 mesh was selected as a suitable solution due to the smaller apertures which also helps to stop juvenile burrowing rodents.
The Anti-Burrowing mesh provides a 120 year design life which meets Network Rail specifications.
Maccaferri will be attending & delivering seminars at Geotex in 2021
Geotex is a long standing series of the latest Ground & Environmental Engineering innovations and solutions. Maccaferri have been part of this informative and brilliant event for years, and love to present knowledge to you and start networking.
Geotex discusses the latest Ground and Environmental Engineering innovations and solutions.
October 13th 2021 starts the Geotex seminars off in Bristol Zoo, throughout the day different companies present knowledge, information and innovative solutions, after the seminars attendees receive a CPD certificate.
As we’ve had a bumpy few years due to the pandemic it would be great for us all to get back on track and network, share knowledge and create business opportunities. Come and join us!
Geotex will be at different venues throughout the year from 9am – 1pm, a list shown below –
Bristol Zoo – Weds 13th Oct
The Tetley Brewery, Leeds – Weds 10th Nov
Thinktank Science Museum – Weds 1st Dec
The seminars are free to attend for delegates, if you want to sign up and come along then all you have to do is navigate through the Geotex website to the right day that you can attend and reserve!
