Gabions

Gabions are used in earthworks to prevent slippage and erosion, but they can also be used in retaining walls and as an indoor and outdoor architectural solution to provide a particular appearance. In order for us to be able to provide the best service to our customers, we have created the hot-dip galvanized Standard gabion. We stock the Standard gabion so that we can guarantee fast delivery times.

The gabion type has a mesh measurement of 76.6 x 76.6 mm and a wire thickness of 5.0 mm. We also manufacture gabions to meet customers’ wishes, with their preferred mesh measurements, wire thicknesses, and sizes. We deliver gabions pre-assembled, which makes installation and filling of the gabions quick and easy. We also hire out the relevant special equipment for gabion installation. The gabions are normally hot-dip galvanized in accordance with standard EN ISO 1461, but we can also offer Fe/Zn 115 or Fe/Zn 165 hot-dip galvanization for sites where there is more environmental stress.

Gabions are also suitable for use in retaining structures on lake and sea shores. When the gabions are used at such sites, the cages are manufactured from stainless steel wire (EN 1.4301 / AISI 304) or corrosion-resistant (EN 1.4401 / AISI 316) steel wire. This guarantees that the gabions have a long service life even in demanding applications.

For marine environments, we also offer the electropolishing and passivation of stainless and corrosion-resistant gabions required by gabion standard EN 10223-8.

​We are pleased to introduce our easy-fill gabions with a narrow vertical opening. The long, narrow opening makes it easy to fill the cage without manual loading or vibrating the rocks during filling. The gabions are filled with 32 – 54 mm crushed aggregate or natural stone. The gabions are easy to fill in situ or the cages can be filled at the worksite and then lifted into place using a customised grabber after filling.
