Gabions are box-shaped structural elements obtained by knitting wire meshes in hexagonal double twists. They are produced as heavy Galvanized, Galfan, PVC and Polyethylene coated depending on the place of use and environmental conditions. The lifespan of gabions is 25-120 years depending on the type of coating. Gabions, which were produced and applied by the Maccaferri company at least 80 years ago, maintain their structure in a way that is identified with nature today. Coastal protection and flood protection structures, embankments, gravity retaining walls and slope stabilization applications can be made with these structural elements.
Advantages of structures manufactured using box gabion,
– Thanks to their easy use, they can be used quickly and practically without the need for qualified personnel.
– Thanks to their flexible structure, they are more resistant to ground settlements, slides and earthquakes.
– Thanks to their self-cavity structure, they can be applied without the need for barracks.
– They can be used safely to prevent abrasion and carving on stream banks, and they do not have the risk of breaking or breaking like rigid structures (concrete, masonry structures, etc.).
– Thanks to their spontaneous greening, they appear as structures compatible with nature over time.
– Due to their coating properties, they create long-lasting structures (25-120 years).
– They can be easily designed thanks to special computer programs.
