Gabion Baskets are galvanized steel, double twisted, woven wire mesh filled with stone and used for various applications including, but not limited to, retaining walls, slope paving, out fall structures, weirs, drop structures and stream bank protection.The stone fill material used for filling the gabion units is clean, hard stone with pieces ranging from 4 – 8 inches on the greatest dimension.
Gabions are double twisted hexagonal woven galvanized steel wire mesh compartmented baskets with a rectangular boxshape. The compartments or cells are of equal size and dimension and are formed by internal diaphragms being placed within the basket. The compartments or cells are filled with natural stone and the diaphragms minimize stone migration within the basket providing even distribution of the stone fill throughout the basket even after structural movement.
