Shop premium welded gabion baskets (2×1×1) with 3mm galvanized wire—ideal for retaining walls, erosion control, and flood defenses. Built for strength, durability, and environmental integration.
Gabions are wire mesh cages filled with stones or other materials, widely used in civil and environmental engineering. In small streams, gabions are effectively employed as fish screens, helping manage aquatic ecosystems. Gabion stepped weirs are commonly utilized for river training and flood control, where their tiered design significantly increases energy dissipation, reduces water flow velocity, and minimizes erosion. This makes them especially effective for managing channel hydraulics in natural waterways.
Gabion retaining walls are constructed by stacking stone-filled baskets and securing them with wire. These walls are typically built with a backward angle (battered) or stepped to match the slope, enhancing stability and preventing sliding. Unlike solid concrete walls, gabions offer permeability and flexibility, allowing natural water drainage while blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
The durability of gabion structures is determined primarily by the lifespan of the wire mesh. The stones themselves are long-lasting, but structural failure occurs when the wire corrodes. While galvanized steel is the most commonly used material, PVC-coated and stainless-steel wires offer extended protection in aggressive environments. High-quality PVC-coated galvanized gabions can last up to 60 years, with some manufacturers guaranteeing a structural life of 50 years.
