Overview

What Are Gabion Boxes?

Gabion boxes used for erosion control and retaining walls in Kenya

Gabions are most commonly used as retaining walls for erosion control and to prevent slope soil from sliding or eroding. Gabion baskets can also be used to create temporary flood walls, perimeter fences, and even for creative applications such as planters and pond surrounds. Also known as gabion cages, their main use in structural engineering has been for protecting shorelines, river banks, and slopes from erosion.

Our Gabion Box is a hexagonal shape wire mesh container of variable sizes, uniformly partitioned into internal cells, interconnected with other similar units and filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable monolithic structures. They are used for protecting land from erosion, construction of earth retaining structures, and river embankment protection.

  • Flexible and permeable monolithic structure
  • Double twist hexagonal mesh for superior strength
  • Hot-dip galvanized wire for corrosion resistance
  • Optional PVC / polymer coating for aggressive environments
  • Standard size: 2 × 1 × 1 metre — custom sizes available

The hot-dip galvanized wire used to manufacture the double twisted hexagonal wire mesh is soft annealed, low carbon content mild steel wire with heavy zinc coating as per IS 280, EN10224 / ASTM A 641. For aggressive natural conditions, further coating of advanced Polymer / Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) of 0.50 mm thickness is applied uniformly for enhanced durability and long service life.

Double Twist Hexagonal Shape Gabion Mattress

Revet Mattress

Gabion Mattress

Our Revet Mattress is a hexagonal shape wire mesh container of variable sizes, uniformly partitioned into internal cells with a relatively smaller height in relation to other dimensions, and with smaller mesh opening than the mesh used for standard gabions. Revet mattresses are generally used for river bank protection and channel linings.

Generally the height of revet mattresses is less than 0.50 metre. They are used together to reduce water velocity and recapture river bed sediment in streams, and are widely used in river courses where soil erosion is a persistent problem.

  • Ideal for river bank and channel lining protection
  • Reduces water velocity and captures river sediment
  • Height typically less than 0.50 m for flexible placement

Double Twist Jumbo Gabion Box

Large Scale Civil Works

Jumbo Gabion Box

Jumbo Gabion boxes are larger than regular Gabion Boxes and are used for large-scale civil engineering projects. They are similar to regular Gabions in all other aspects. In Jumbo Gabions, the width is typically 1.5 metres or 2.0 metres, compared to 1.0 metre width in regular Gabion Boxes, making them ideal for heavy-duty retaining and embankment applications.

  • Wider 1.5 m and 2.0 m options for large structures
  • Centre diaphragms for structural stability
  • Suitable for major road and civil engineering projects

Double Twist Hexagonal Shape Cylindrical / Sack Gabion

Cylindrical sack gabion for river bank and scour protection in Kenya

Scour & Bank Protection

Cylindrical Sack Gabion

Our Cylindrical / Sack Gabion is a hexagonal shape wire mesh unit with a lateral opening to allow stone filling or geotextile-encased sand filling at site. Cylindrical / Sack Gabions are generally used for river bank protection, scour protection of bridges, or situations where immediate protection is required from the erosion effect of water.

These cylindrical units are filled with stone, lifted into position using suitable equipment, and stacked upon one another to form a structure of contained rocks – providing rapid and durable protection against water-induced erosion.

  • Rapid deployment for immediate erosion protection
  • Suitable for bridge scour protection
  • Can be filled with stone or geotextile-encased sand
  • Stackable units for flexible structural configurations
