customized and Modular Gabion System solutions

Gabions are flexible and permeable, suited for construction of: River bank retaining walls, coastal protection works, channel linings, revetments, weirs, reservoir closure, soil stabilisation and earth retention project, pool construction, flood control, rock fall drapery and other projects.

Gabions function in:
Control and guide of water or flood;
Flood bank or guiding bank;
Preventing of rock breaking;
Water and soil protection;
Bridge protection;
Strengthening structure of soil;
Coast protection;
Seaport engineering;
Protection engineering of seaside area;
Construction in mining industries;
Hillside protection and other applications.

Modular gabion system is a quick solution for retaining walls, earth retention, rock protection and other uses. In such system, gabions of standard wire containers, are uniformly partitioned of variable size. They are interconnected with other similar mesh cages to form retaining walls, channel linings and other gabion works. We also supply customized gabions according to site condition.
