double torsion gabions

Gabion

   We are the undisputed world leader in the manufacture, design and supply of gabions. Our gabions are cages that have been designed with hexagonal mesh woven with Double Torsion steel wire. Delivered disassembled, our gabions are assembled and then filled with stones on site.

   There are numerous uses for these modular units and they typically form flexible, permeable, and monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, hydraulic control structures, and erosion protection. They are also increasingly used in architectural applications.

   Our gabions are made of high quality Galmac® C3 steel wire, with a metallic coating with an alloy composed of 90% Zinc, 10% Aluminum and rare earths with high strength to provide long-term corrosion protection. An additional protective polymeric coating is also applied for gabions that are to be used in more aggressive environments or where a longer service life is required.

   In order to reinforce the structure, all the edges of the panels are finished with a larger diameter wire.

   We have added our new Polimac® polymer coating to our range of coatings to offer a solution for those projects that require better environmental and technical performance than PVC and organic coated mesh products on the market.

   Our gabions are produced in the factories of the Maccaferri group around the world. The management and production system is certified according to ISO 9001.

   In the selected factories, the gabion mesh is produced in compliance with the RCP – Product Construction Regulation 305/2011, with CE marking in accordance with ETA-09/0414

JUMBO GABION

Jumbo Gabion

   Our Jumbo Gabions are used in large-scale civil engineering projects where they are required to build large volumes of gabions. Identical in concept to our regular gabions, only the Jumbo gabions are much larger!

   Allow the contractor to install gabion units in a faster and more efficient way, due to the unit’s economies of scale and the construction process.

   The jumbo gabion is delivered as a kit, our gabions are assembled and filled with stone in the same work.

   Our gabions are made from high-quality steel wire, which is heavily galvanized to provide long-term corrosion protection. An additional protective polymeric coating is also applied for gabions that are to be used in more aggressive environments or where a longer design life is required.

   In order to reinforce the structure, all the edges of the mesh panels are joined at the edges with a wire having a larger diameter.

   We have added our new Polimac® polymer coating to our range of coatings to offer a solution for projects that require better environmental and technical performance than existing PVC and organic coated mesh products on the market.
