Gabions

The product we have designed is a ready-to-use gabion basket filled with granite. In contrast to gabions produced on site our gabion baskets offer the following advantages:

Short construction period: a team of three people can, with the aid of a machine (crane or excavator), handle about 100m² of gabion basket per day
Extremely high stability: the use of spot welded, galvanized steel twice the strength with wires 6 mm in diameter guarantees that these gabion baskets won’t be deformed during transport and handling. In addition, each gabion basket is fitted with a lever which makes it easier for the crane or excavator to lift.
A uniform appearance because the gabion baskets are always filled with the same kind of material, using a vibrating compactor. This method ensures that the gabion baskets can be used several times without becoming deformed.
Only little storage space is needed on the building site because there are no rocks or empty baskets which have to be stored.
Only hot - dipped galvanized bars are used for the production of our gabion baskets – with a zinc coating of at least 500 g/m². The basket is galvanized after the grid has been shaped to avoid chipping and to guarantee a permanent corrosion protection.
Our gabion basket can be removed and re-used without difficulties.

On the basis of these features these gabion baskets are particularly suitable for:

Embankment slope protection
Retaining walls
Noise and partition wall protection
Architectural design
Pieces of art

Depending on the use and the kind of machine available to help with the construction we can deliver gabions from 0.25 m³ to 2.00 m³. The weight of each gabion varies depending on the size of the basket – between 350 kg and 3,100 kg.
