Maccaferri Gabions
Our gabions are cages which are engineered from double twisted hexagonal woven steel
wire mesh. Delivered flat-packed, our gabions are assembled and then filled with
stones at the project site.
There are numerous uses for these modular units and are typically used to form flexible,
permeable and monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, hydraulic
control structures and erosion protection. They are increasingly being used in architectural
applications as well.
Our gabion baskets are made from high quality steel wire, which is heavily galvanised
to provide long term corrosion protection. An additional protective polymeric coating
is also applied for gabions that are to be used in more aggressive environments,
or where a longer design life is required.
Our new PA6 polymer coating has been added to our range of protective coatings to
offer a solution to those projects that require improved environmental and technical
performance to the existing PVC and HDPE coated mesh products on the market.
Our gabions are manufactured in our factories around the world. The management and production system in many of our factories is certified in compliance with ISO 9001.
In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire
having a greater diameter.
