Gabion baskets manufactured to meet your retaining needs

Gabions have been used as retaining structures since the Ancient times when Egyptians used them to retain the soil banks along the Nile River. The first Gabions date back 2000 years and were made from willows filled with natural stone. Thanks to technological advancements, Gabions are now more durable than ever and can be filled with various materials, from stone to concrete, to meet clients’ requirements.

Reasons to install range from aesthetic to functional – not only are these baskets simple to install, but they are also, in most cases, more affordable than other retaining solutions. We specialise in the design, manufacture and installation of these baskets for all kinds of purposes. We have completed several successful installations over the years, both for commercial and domestic purposes, and clients can therefore rely on our team to get the job done – promptly and professionally!

To provide each client with the best possible retaining solution for their requirements, our team will come out to your premises to assess the terrain. Doing so allows us to determine which materials and retaining structures will best suit your needs. When it comes to Gabion installation, as well as the installation of all other retaining structures, we make use of only the best materials and tools to ensure a tough and lasting installation.

To prolong the lifespan of our installations, we only make use of quality mesh wiring and unweathered rocks. Furthermore, we also pay attention to:

• Drainage – we make sure that sufficient drainage can take place below and behind the basket. Ensuring that water can drain fast and effectively will improve the stability of the installation and prolong its lifespan.
• Protecting the wire – by making use of galvanised or PVC coated wiring, we extend the longevity of our Gabion installations. Galvanising protects the steel from oxidation as it forms a protective layer around the wire. This also protects the wire mesh box against rust.
• Geotextile linings where necessary – where it is required that the baskets be filled with soil to improve the stability of the retaining installation, we make use of premium Geotextile linings for the best results.
