Gabions are a wire basket that are filled with rock and used for retaining structures and erosion protection applications.

Nova provides gabions with four different wire coating options to meet the required lifespans in the given conditions. The four different coating options are; heavy galvanised, heavy galvanised with PVC coating, galfan costed and galfan with PVC coating.

We can provide a wide range of sizes to meet the requirements of your project.

Installation:

Gabions should be positioned as required and adjacent units connected. Once in position, gabion units should be stretched taught to provide a neat straight alignment and where a high standard of rock facing is required to the gabions, additional formwork may be used on the face of the cage to provide an even straighter, neater finish.

The lid of the gabion that remains open during the filling process should be folded back out of the way whilst filling.

Rock should them be machine placed into the gabion unit to about one third height of a typical 1m high cage. Laborers should then hand position the rock against the front face of the cage to ensure a neat, tightly packed finish.

Lastly, the gabion lid is pulled over into position on top of the rock and is laced closed to the perimeter of the gabion cage and to each of the vertical partitions/diaphragms within the gabion cage.
