A gabion (from Italian gabbione meaning "big cage"; from Italian gabbia and Latin cavea meaning "cage") is a cage, cylinder or box filled with rocks, concrete, or sometimes sand and soil for use in civil engineering, road building and landscaping.
interconnected with similar units to form flexible, permeable and monolithic structures such as mass gravity retaining walls,channel linings, revetments and weirs for hydraulic and erosion control projects.
The gabion baskets are site assembled and packed with locally quarried or imported rock whichis carefully hand-placed along all exposed faces of the baskets to ensurethe best aesthetic earth retaining structure.
The polymer coating is applied for gabions that are to used in more aggressive environments, or where a longer design life is required to offer greater resistance to abrasion, chemical aggressions,UV rays and performance in cold weather.
*Reduces carbon emissions by 10 times compared to concrete walls
*Flexible and reliable, accommodating large settlements without structural impact
*Constructible at 5-10 metres height with flexible face options,easy and quick installation.
*Cost-effective alternative to various wall systems such as mass gravity boulder walls, grouted rock walls and mass concrete block walls as it reduces the amount of material needed to build a wall

It's quite easy to build the gabion mattress even you don't have skilled labor. Just fill the mattress with stones and place it where you need.
Baskets can be prefilled and launched to enable the installation under water.
The woven mesh system is capable of withstanding unexpected and localized stresses due to ground settlements and scour by deflection while maintaining its structural integrity.
We make strict quality control from material sourcing to product manufacturing. Each batch of gabion products will be inspected randomly to meet the requirements of our customers.
Gabion box is economical for several reasons. First, it needs little maintenance; Second, no skilled labor is required when it comes to installation and stone fill is available wherever there are stones. Third, gabions are porous, requiring no costly drainage provision.
The double-twist hexagonal mesh construction permits it to tolerate differential settlement without fracture. This feature is especially important when the structure is on unstable soil conditions.
Normally, the gabion box will be wrapped with shink film and packaged into the pallets. If you have special request for packaging, please just let us know.
