What is Gabions
• A gabion is a cage, cylinder or box filled with rocks,
concrete, or sometimes sand and soil.
• Gabions are rectangular baskets fabricated from a

hexagonal mesh of heavily galvanized steel wire.
• Gabion walls are cheaper, much stronger and quicker

to install than any other rock wall.

Charecterstics
 gabion is made by highly corrosion resistant,
 high strength, ductility low carbon steel wire or PVC coated wire
with the standard ASTM A 975,
 Flexible
 Permeable
 Economic
 box are made of galvanized wire.

1. Gabion baskets
 it is a net wire mesh that produced in box-
shaped and in different sizes.
 Used in highway and railway works.
 It would be economical unless filling

materials are not available from quarries
near the project site.

2. Gabion mattresses
 Gabion mattresses, also known as reno mattresses.
 It is employed in the channel coating for preventing

erosion. So, it tackles wave and erosion induced
velocity.
 Common size, 6 m long by 2 m wide by 0,3 m high.

3. Gabion sacks
 This type of gabions is formed quickly.
 It has a porous and flexible structure.
 Gabion sacks are usually used in hydraulic works in
emergency conditions
4. Decorative Gabion Elements
 It is used indoor and outdoor decoration, garden
design and landscaping.
 Gabion elements offer suitable environment for the
growth of plant roots

5.Gabion wire mesh

 Gabion wire mesh maintains stability of the
slope close to highway and railways.
 It is applied for anti-erosion to slope.
 It enhances embankment soil strength in

combination with geogrid reinforcement.

Applications
 Retaining stractures such as retaninig wall,revetment
and toe wall to embankment and cuttings.
 Corrosion prevention stractures for instence of sea
wall,river bank defences,canal bank,dams weirs,
groynes,and for protection of reserviors and
lakesides.
 Cylindrical metal gabion used in dam or in foundation
construction.
 it is employed as a noise barrier.
 Gabions also used as temporary flood wall
 stepped gabions improves the energy .dissiption in
channels.
 Finally it is used for aesthetic purposes.

Procedure of installation
Construction steps
• Step 1 : take measurement
• Step 2 : purchase materials
• Step 3 :prepare the area
• Step 4 : place the first row of gabions
• Step 5 : fill the gabions
• Step 6 : stack subsequent rows

Case study
1.MATLA RIVER GABION WEIRS
 gabion weirs to be built along a river diversion channel.
 The average width was 5-10m and height to top of the berm was
4.8m.
 The weirs controlled the flow of water in the channel to reduced
water velocities.
 Gabion Baskets assisted the design engineer with a detail for the
gabion weirs and mattresses to be installed during late 2017. The
contractor AWA Shabugwane Construction is almost complete with
the works now,
 the channel was a length of 11km and was to control the water flow,
as a new mine technique had been adopted to mine the coal
underground and once complete to implode the tunnels and have
the roof fall in to close the mine. This could have caused water flow
problems in the valley, thus the reason that the water diversion
channel was constructed.

Case study
2.GOTHIC CONSTRUCTION CRASH BARRI
1. trucks often crash into the wall of Gothic Construction’s head office
site located on the corner of William Nicol and Kingfisher,
2. they decided to replace the brick wall with an architectural gabion
wall. This wall, installed by Petron Engineering’s Mr Ronnie Dagnin, is
made up of 22 separate sections so that only the affected section
would need to be repaired if a truck was to drive into the wall again
– this would reduce the overall repair cost. Apart from the implied
cost efficiency, this structure also adds an aesthetic appeal to the
intersection, attracting a lot of admiration from passers-by!
Dimensions:
Height: 3.6m
Length: 13.24m
Width: Varies between 1.5 and 1.6m

Gabion stracture are

employed
 As a reataning wall
 As a spur
 As a drop stracture
 As a flexible apron

Conclusion
 The Gabion units are strong ,flexible and
dimensionally stable and can be assembles
quickly and easily.
 and it is most ecofriendly and economical
when compare to normal wall constraction in
asethetic purpose and in hydrulic stracture
such as rivetment. reatining wall and to
control the soil errosin and stabilize tha soil .
