Gabion
Gabions are structures made from wire mesh containers filled with stones or other materials. They are used in various civil engineering and landscaping applications to control erosion, stabilize slopes, and provide retaining walls. The wire mesh containers are typically made from galvanized steel or PVC-coated steel wire, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Gabions blend into natural surroundings and are often used in riverbanks, coastal areas, and highway embankments to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
