Double twist woven mesh gabion

Gabion baskets are rectangular wire mesh cages manufactured from double twisted hexagonal mesh that are site filled with hard durable rock to form an earth retaining structure.

APPLICATIONS

Gabions can be used in a variety of different applications from mass gravity retailing walls in highway projects to architectural feature walls. Their origins date back to 1894 when they were used for flood repair works and this long history of use is a testament to the reliability that Geofabrics offers its clients. Gabions form flexible retaining structures that can accommodate differential settlements. They are also permeable eliminating the main cause of instability of soil retaining structures. Gabions have also been shown to provide a good balance between engineering requirements and environmental considerations for earth retaining walls in rivers, along roads and railways.
