Gabions

Gabions

Gabions are wire mesh containers made from double twisted, hexagonal woven wire mesh. Once assembled, the gabions are filled on site with durable stones in order to create flexible, permeable, monolithic structures.

Gabion structures are able to develop and integrate with the surrounding environment, permitting the preservation or restoration of the natural environment.

The filtering capability of the rock fill allows the soil, water, air, and plant life to interact naturally. Plant life can be developed even quicker by designing steps between each vertical layer creating planting shelves. As gabions provide a completely natural look, they have also used by architects as decorative elements of the landscape.

Also Gabion are often found in civil engineering, retaining walls, slope reinforcement, residential and commercial areas for its flexibility, economy, permeability and durability.
