Flexibility :
Superior compared with
any other structure. Constructions made by
hexagonal mesh allow for adjustment
to any
conditions of surface
without damaging and
straining the structure.
Permeable :
Gabion structures
facilitate water to pass through, whilst
it prevents pressure to build up, in order to guarantee that the
structure is properly drained at all times.
Robust :
Gabion structures can withstand forces exerted by
earth masses and water.
Economical :
Rocks and stones for filling the gabions are
regularly sourced on or near the work site.
Lack of foundation works and no maintenance.
Adaptation :
Stones allow gabion structures to be
aesthetically appealing allowing local flora to grow again. Gabions
in time fill up with soil, a process that
facilitates the growth of flora which in turn will facilitate the
further bonding of the stones.
Simplicity :
Even unskilled personnel can quickly assemble any
gabion product.
Maintenance :
Straight forward and simple by using additional
wire or mesh.
Functionality :
Gabion structures are functional instantly with
their completion.
Extendability :
Gabion structures can be extended easily by
attaching extra units to the preexistent ones. |
