A Gabion is a cage, which is the primary structure of the wall constructed of wire or galvanized wire mesh filled with rock, stone, sand or soil. Gabion retaining walls are an effective, environmentally friendly solution where erosion has been a problem. Gabion retaining walls are used widely for water and drainage management as well as for facilitating soil stabilization. Gabion retaining walls are formed using a series of rectangular steel mesh baskets. The double twisted woven netting of gabion retaining walls ensures that in the event of a wire being cut, the double twist prevents the unraveling of the mesh. All the edges of the baskets are reinforced by a stiffer and even stronger wire. There are very few limits when it comes to the construction of a Gabion retaining wall. The flexibility of a Gabion retaining wall makes it the perfect match to withstand pressure without deforming, cracking or breaking.
