GSC introduces:

– Long-term performance at 120 years of service life

– Experimentally tested and numerically verified method

– Increased cost-effectivity of the design

– Significant environmental benefits

The GSC approach combined with PoliMac® coated gabions leads to a reduction of the input material for the construction of the gabion wall and up 40% savings of CO2 emissions. Indeed, gabions enhance the biodiversification and the growth of vegetation, inducing CO2 sequestration: compared to concrete walls, the emissions are reduced by 10 times.

Our gabions reduce the total cost of ownership of the solution:

• Material reduction: less stone means savings! Thanks to the GSC concept the amount of material needed to build a gabion wall is drastically reduced.

• More performance: PoliMac coating means outstanding performance in harsh conditions. It will preserve the structure, reducing maintenance costs.

• Faster installation: material reduction means easier and faster installation. An optimized design increases the production rate.

• Environment first: reduction of quarry stones means cutting the environmental burden.

Take advantage of the new design approach to reduce the environmental impact of the structure!

Gabion Supply offers US Made Gabion Baskets and Mattresses fabricated from precision welded corrosion resistant steel wire mesh assembled into square or rectangular cells of varying sizes. The most common Gabion Baskets for a retaining wall measures: 3'x3'x3',  6'x3'x3',  9'x3'x3' and 12'x3'x3' with opening of  3" x 3" in a square pattern

Other sizes, shapes, wire gauges and mesh openings are available upon request

Gabions come to the job site pre-fabricated and knocked down for economy in transportation. They are easily erected, set into place and filled with stone to form a monolithic, flexible structure which provides low cost, long-term erosion control and soil stabilization

The high permeability of gabions eliminates buildup of hydrostatic pressure which will displace and crack rigid concrete structures. Gabions conform to irregularities and dynamics of changing soil conditions without compromising performance

Because of their inherent flexibility, gabion structures can yield to earth movement and retain their full efficiency while remaining structurally sound. They are quite unlike rigid or semi-rigid structures which may suffer complete failure when even slight changes occur in their foundations

Gabion structures act as self-draining units which "bleed" off ground waters, relieving hydrostatic heads. Voids between the stones  dissipate the energy from flood, current, and wave action;  the entire structure is, therefore, a ”breathing," self-draining unit needing no additional drainage. Gabion efficiency, rather than decreasing with age, actually increases. During early periods of use, silt and vegetation will collect within the rock filling to form a naturally permanent structure, enhancing the environment

One of the first gabion structures installed in Europe at the turn of the century for river works was examined after 75 years in service and found to be in perfect condition. From an economic perspective, finished gabion work is invariably less expensive than a conventional structure

The cost of gabions and stone fill is nominal; unskilled laborers can be used in construction; the high cost of underwater excavations, driving piling and underground drainage systems is avoided.

Gabions are virtually maintenance free and construction speed is hastened because no forms, reinforcements, setting or curing time are necessary.
