Gabions for erosion control

Gabion baskets from Corden are made from bi-axial welded steel mesh with a 75 x 75mm square aperture, and designed for retaining walls and landscaping. Mesh panels are factory-connected and flat-packed, with Galfan or Galfan plus PVC coating for corrosion resistance. Standard basket sizes and bespoke options are available

Reno Mattress Plus from Maccaferri is a stone-filled riverbank erosion control mattress. Traditional river bank protection made with loose stones (rip-rap) requires a thick layer of material to be effective. This is because the rip-rap stones are not confined and the layers cannot be accurately placed, resulting in higher stone consumption with an

CED Stone Landscape Gabion Fill is made from angular stone pieces for stacking in mesh cages to create stable wall structures. Used in landscaping and construction, stone options such as basalt, quartzite, cobbles, and setts, with choices for decorative or structural applications: angular stone fill for gabion cages in landscaping and

CubiMac gabion baskets are manufactured from robust double-twist 8 x 10 type, Polimac®-coated, 3.4mm-diameter steel wire mesh. CubiMac has been specifically developed for use in construction sites where an in-situ filling is not possible or inconvenient (ie installation underwater). CubiMac can be filled using a special frame combined with a

The DT gabion is a double-twisted wire mesh container of variable sizes uniformly partitioned into internal cells. They are interconnected with other similar units and filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as mass gravity walls, channel linings, revetments and weirs for geotechnical, hydraulic and erosion control projects

Gabion mattresses are box units where the plan area is large compared to its height. Each unit is subdivided into compartments normally to give cells 2m x 1m in plan. Standard mattress sizes are 3m x 2m & 2m x 2m in plan and available in depths of 0.17m and 0.3m respectively. These are typically supplied in a Galfan coated wire with a PVC coating

Hexagonal woven mesh gabions are manufactured from a mesh that has a hexagonal opening which is formed by twisting pairs of wire together with one and a half turns (sometimes referred to as triple or double twist). This type of mesh production is continuous. To form panels, the mesh is guillotined across the weave and the cut ends of the wire are

Welded gabions are suitable for architectural applications, or low-height structures with minimal risk of differential settlement. Maccaferri's welded gabion units consist of panels of quality welded wire mesh, secured together to form a gabion unit, filled on-site with gabion stone to form the appropriate structure. When filled correctly with

Bi-axial welded mesh gabions are manufactured from a square mesh, normally of opening size 75.0mm × 75.0mm where the longitudinal wires are welded to the cross wires at their intersection points. This type of fabric manufacture produces a dimensionally stable mesh. The mesh is produced in standard sheets which are then cut into the required panel
