Gabions, Hexagonal Wire Mesh, and Geomaterials form a system solution for slope protection MSE retaining structure in various civil engineering projects, particularly in highway construction.

MSE retaining structures are engineered soil structures designed to stabilize and reinforce slopes, embankments, and retaining walls.

Modular wire mesh units with gabion facing are integral components of MSE retaining structures designed to stabilize and reinforce slopes, embankments, and retaining walls.

The slope protection system is composed by two parts:

Modular wire mesh units with gabion facing;
3D geo network system.

Wire Mesh Units (Gabions and Hexagonal Wire Mesh):

Wire mesh units are used primarily for structural support and facing in slope protection systems.

3D Geo Network System:

3D geo network consists of high-density polypropylene fibers woven into a network, integrating wire cables and connectors within the system. This network is used with gabion wire mesh units to ensures that the entire slope protection structure is cohesive and reinforced.
