Gabion Box Solutions for River, Slope, and Road Protection
Gabion box is manufactured from galvanized or PVC coated steel wire mesh, assembled into rectangular baskets and filled with stone for strength and flexibility. It is widely used for retaining walls, riverbank protection, slope stabilization, erosion control, and road engineering projects. Gabion structures adapt well to ground movement and water flow while maintaining stability. According to structure and application, gabion boxes are classified into welded gabion boxes, hexagonal woven gabions, gabion mattresses, and reinforced gabion systems.
