Gabion Baskets

Gabion Basket walls and rock mattresses are baskets or cages manufactured from heavily galvanized wire and also with the addition of a PVC sleeve coating on the core wire filled with mattress rock.

Applications include:

• Retaining walls
• Weirs and drop structures
• Culvert protection
• Bridge abutment protection
• Channel lining
• Chutes and spillways
• River crossings
• Landscaping
• Rockfall protection netting (mesh)
• Erosion control and stabilisation

Gabion walls and rock mattress structures are porous to prevent build-up of hydrostatic pressure and are able to withstand differential settlement. Gabions are a popular option for streams, creeks and rivers.
