    Gabion baskets are rectangular wire mesh cages filled with rock that are used to form retaining walls, erosion control barriers, and other structures. They are made from galvanized steel wire or PVC-coated wire formed into a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. This mesh provides strength and prevents unraveling. The baskets are assembled on-site and filled with stone. Gabion structures are flexible, permeable, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly.

    TWISTED WIRE GABION BASKETS

    Gabions are rectangular wire mesh baskets filled with


    rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable,
    monolithic structures such as retaining walls for
    commercial, industrial and road projects.

    Gabion baskets are made from double twisted, hexagonal


    woven wire mesh. The wire used to manufacture the gabion
    baskets is fabricated from soft tensile, heavily galvanized
    steel, which is also available with an extruded PVC coating
    for additional corrosion protection, when required by the
    application. The double twist of the woven wire mesh provides
    integrity, strength and continuity to the structure by adding a
    non-raveling effect that prevents any accidental damage from
    spreading. Lacing wire is used to assemble and interconnect
    empty units and to close and secure stone-filled units. Once
    assembled, the baskets are filled on site with durable stone.

    Gabion Baskets are also used for erosion control for bank
    stabilization, channel linings, and weirs. Their strength lies in their
    double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire which is reinforced by
    selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse
    diaphragms. The wire will not unravel even when cut. Assembly is easy, requiring no specialized labour and they are easy to install.

    They are ideal for any situation where a retaining structure is required which is also aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Since Gabion
    baskets are permeable, they integrate and adapt in harmony with their surroundings, allowing environmental growth and preservation.
