Gabion Baskets & Mattresses For Retaining & Erosion Control
Woven Gabion Baskets – Product Overview
Gabion baskets are containers made from double twisted, hexagonal woven wire mesh. They are utilised extensively in civil construction for their low cost & functionality.
Once assembled, gabion baskets are filled on site with durable stone in order to create flexible, permeable, monolithic structures.
Gabion structures are strong and reliable offering engineers many benefits for managing earth and water.
Typically gabion baskets are preferred on large scale civil, mining, industrial, road and rail projects.
Gabion structures are able to develop and integrate with the surrounding environment, permitting the preservation or restoration of the natural landscape.

Gabion Baskets – Capabilities
Woven gabions are available in a comprehensive range of sizes and configurations.
Their modular design therefore allows engineers and contractors to create any size structure to suit project demands.
The gabions are transported to site flat packed where they are formed into shape and connected by either lacing wire or C-Rings.
Popular gabion designs include retaining walls (gravity walls), erosion & water control, mechanically stabilised walls and when used in conjunction with gabion mattresses scour protection along river banks, channels & weirs.
Other useful purposes include sediment barriers, flood mitigation and drainage.
Century gabion baskets are purpose manufactured to with stand extreme loads experienced by rock infill.
Special internal bracing wire is provided to ensure the structure maintains high aesthetic value whilst remaining functional.
Century gabions have industry leading high density coating, actively resisting corrosion with life expectancy up to 100 years in modest environments.
For harsh environments such as high salinity or contaminated soil we offer the full range of gabion baskets and mattresses with additional PVC coating.
