Gabiony, Galvanized and PVC coated Gabions for River Protection
Gabiony is an element in the form of blocks made of wire mesh nettings of twisted hexagonal opening or welded square or rectangular openings, which is filled with natural stone for river, hill protection or construction.
Gabiony is made of steel mesh with the type 8x10 mesh. The diameter of the wire mesh has normally two types: 2.7 or 3.0 mm. The gabion element is in the shape of block or regular cube size. These special wire bins are made of robust wire, filled with the vibrations at the quarry and transport are accompanied by the lifting straps. The technology provides a seamless transport and storage.
