Slaton Bros, Inc. has installed countless miles of gabion walls and can install a gabion wall for your latest project as well. Gabion Uses The most common civil engineering use of gabions is to stabilize shorelines or slopes against erosion. Other uses include retaining walls, temporary floodwalls, to filter silt from runoff, for small or temporary/permanent dams, river training, channel lining. They may be used to direct the force of a flow of floodwater around a vulnerable structure. Our Process The process for creating a gabion wall, like the soil nail wall, is simple and can be completed relatively quickly. The process begins with a site inspection, where we analyze the soil type, slope, and total area of construction. Once the area has been inspected, we prepare the site by removing obstructions like grass and other plants. We then support and level the foundation. Once the foundation is ready, we insert the wire baskets and fill them with the desired rocks and cement. Local rocks can be used, or rocks can be brought in from another area. Finally, we stabilize the baskets with galvanized wire to reduce bulging and add new levels of gabion walls if necessary. Advantages Of Gabions Gabions, due to their simple nature, have many advantages that more complex construction methods can’t always compete with. Some of these advantages include: How Our Gabion Walls Are Different Although gabion walls can be simple, there is still a degree of difficulty involved, especially for larger projects. The logistics of gathering rocks, setting up a foundation, and placing rocks in baskets needs an experienced team and proper equipment.
