What Is EarthLok™, a Rock Mattress Alternative?
A Rock Mattress, also known as a gabion mattress, consists of a flat wire mesh structure filled with stone designed to protect surfaces such as riverbanks and slopes from erosion.
However, EARTHLOK offers a superior alternative with our flexible concrete matting solutions. Engineered to provide more effective erosion control and scour protection, EARTHLOK’s innovative design and high-quality materials outshine traditional Rock Mattresses, delivering enhanced performance and sustainability for various applications.

EarthLok™ - A Good Alternative to Gabion Baskets for Scour Protection
Gabion Baskets are similar to Rock Mattresses; however, they are not as short or wide as a Rock Mattress. Gabion Baskets are therefore used in similar applications as Rock Mattresses for scour protection and come with a similar set of challenges, particularly the increased timeframe for installation.
Earthlok, with its unique design, provides for a scour protection solution that is easier to work with, and quicker to install whilst still providing the same benefits of scour protection that would be achieved by gabion baskets.
