Gabions


Picture
Maccaferri Gabions are rectangular wire mesh baskets that are filled with rock on site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls for commercial, industrial and road projects.  When gabions are filled with stone they become large, flexible building blocks from which a broad range of structures can be built.  Gabions are also used for erosion control, bank stabilization, channel linings and weirs.  The main advantages of gabions are their strength and flexibility.  Their wire construction can tolerate differential settlement without fracture.  Hydrostatic pressure does not build up behind the gabion units because of their permeable nature.  This ability to combine drainage and retention functions makes gabions ideal structures for slope stabilization.

Retaining Walls

Gabion gravity walls are used for bank stabilization, erosion control and retaining structures.  The stability of mass gravity retaining walls relies upon the structural integrity of the units and their filled mass, to support or contain unstable earth slopes.  Long-term stability is provided as these structures are capable of absorbing differential settlement and deformations.

Channel Linings

Gabions are used for permanent soil erosion control in channels, stream banks, spillways and stable slopes from surficial erosion.  The stone confinement within the units allows for higher shear stress resistance than the riprap.  Gabions perform very well for erosion control since they are a free draining structures with high flexibility where the foundation space could propose a problem.

Weirs

Gabion weirs are widely used for river training, for the formation of reservoirs and for water diversion.  Gabion weirs are extremely successful as hydraulic structures, with the capacity to withstand significant velocities and erosive forces.  Vertical weirs are the simplest type, often used for small structures, in particular if a series of weirs is employed to control a stream reach.

Green TerraMesh®

Green TerraMesh is an environmentally friendly modular system designed for soil reinforcement, such as mechanically stabilized earth slopes and embankments.  Green Terramesh incorporates an innovative formwork system that creates a “green” faced reinforced earth retaining wall in conjunction with polyester geogrids and compacted back fill.  Green Terramesh units have a factory fitted, biodegradable facing layer that retains a layer of good quality topsoil to act as a nutrient reservoir.
