• Gabions have been used on thousands of projects in the USA and all over the world.

• Gabions are made of double twisted steel wires coated with class 3 zinc and additional PVC coating to provide long term corrosion protection to the steel.

• The double twisted gabion mesh is configured to maximize the strength and flexibility of the gabion units and to prevent the mesh from unraveling in the event one or more wires are damaged.

• Gabion structures are an ideal solution for applications with unstable conditions such as poor soils and in wet or water applications. The individual gabion units and the gabion structures offers strength and flexibility capable of adhering to sub surface settlement with loss of integrity to the units or overall gabion structure.

• Gabion structure offer natural permeability through the voids in the stone fill material. Gabion structures built with a high quality of workmanship offer a 25-30% void ratio. The void ratio shall be considered in the stability calculations for the gabion structures. The voids in the stone fill allow for natural release of any hydrostatic pressure during rapid draw downs. The free draining gabion structures eliminates the need for additional drainage methods.

• Gabion structures requires less bearing capacity than other solutions due to their low densities.

• Gabion Structures are an ideal solution for stream bank and shoreline protection and allow for most trees to be saved.

• Gabion structures can be built easily and economically in location which are less accessible to other solutions.

• Properly designed and constructed gabion structures are long lasting up to 20 years or more depending on application.

• With our guidance gabion structures can easily be designed, specified and constructed.
