Buy high-quality galvanized gabion baskets (2×1×1) with 2.7mm wire for retaining walls, flood control, and erosion protection. Engineered for long-term durability and environmental resilience.
Gabions are wire mesh baskets filled with stones, commonly used in civil engineering and environmental applications. In small streams, gabions serve as effective fish screens. One of their most innovative applications is in the construction of gabion stepped weirs for river training and flood control. The stepped configuration not only improves structural stability but also increases energy dissipation within the water channel, reducing erosion and water velocity.
Gabion walls are retaining structures built by stacking stone-filled baskets, typically angled back (battered) or stepped in alignment with the slope rather than built vertically. These structures are valued for their permeability, flexibility, and integration into the natural environment.
The longevity of gabion systems depends primarily on the quality and durability of the wire mesh. While galvanized steel wire is most common, enhanced versions include PVC-coated or stainless-steel options. PVC-coated galvanized gabions can have a service life of up to 60 years. Some manufacturers even offer guarantees of structural integrity for up to 50 years.
