Features of Gabion Baskets:
* Flexible:
Double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh structure tolerates against huge forces without breaking or cracking. It adapts itself to some degree of movement.
* Durable:
Galvanized wire mesh has very long life. If the galvanized wire coated with PVC, the life of structure gets longer. It is better for hydraulic works.
* Permeable:
The hexagonal wire mesh structure filled with stones provide an effective permeability throughout the structure, they are self-draining.
* Economy:
Gabion Structures are very economical compared to the conventional structures especially when the stones to fill the structure are close to the work area. Low maintenance is required for the construction works (Life Time Economy)
* Strength:
It can absorb the huge amount of energy and very strong under tension generated by the nature. Well-made gabion structures can exist in perfect condition for many decades.
