Gabions
Gabions are compartmentalized containers made of galvanized steel hexagonal wire mesh, and filled with stone. Compartments, or cells, of equal capacity are formed by factory-inserted wire netting diaphragms or partitions. Filled with stone, they become a large, flexible and permeable building block from which a broad range of structures may be built.
Gabion baskets from EFS feature:
- Compartmentalized structure retains shape during filling
- Filling remains evenly distributed, even after extensive settlement
- Flexible gabions and mattresses ensure reliability
- Each unit yields to earth movement to retain full efficiency while maintaining structural integrity
- Baskets delivered in convenient, collapsed form
- Easy assembly requires no technical skill to construct
Gabion basket applications include:
- Waterways and Channels
- River Crossing
- Landscaping Retaining Structures
- Marinas and Seashore Protections
- Bridges and Culvert Protections
