GABIONS
Gabions are modular building blocks formed of wire mesh and filled on site with rock, stone or crushed concrete.
For the large contract we are able to offer a Full Design Service.
The mesh is a welded wire square mesh of 76.2 x 76.2mm or 50.8mm x 50.8mm and is available in PVC-Zinc Coated, Triple Life
corrosion protection (95% zinc 5% Aluminium) or galvanised wire.
The units are supplied flat packed and are wired or helicalled on site to form the box shapes.
Unit sizes available are the industry Standard Sizes, Gabion 700 System or bespoke Non-Standard Units.
Units can also be manufactured from other Non-Standard Mesh
sizes or combinations of wire diameters to suit particular needs and stainless steel.
