Gabions for Retaining walls / Mass gravity
walls / Landslide mitigation projects:
- Gabion retaining walls are mass gravity retaining structures, constructed with boulder filled Gabion boxes to retain the soil mass laterally.
- Using a lacing technique, Gabions are tied to adjacent Gabions to form a monolithic structure throughout the wall
