Gabion Cage

Introduction

Gabions cages are best thought of as large,wire baskets that are fiiled with a local stone or other cheap aggregate,including reclaimed and recycled materials,and then linked together to form terracing,retain river banks,spport erthbank and limitless other uses in the civil engineering field.

Mattresses are a specialised form of gabion cages which are,unsurprisingly,mattress shaped,in that they have a relatively larger plan size and shallower depth.Their primary use is in protecting the bed of watercourses from excessive scour-they aim to prevent the water ripping up its own bed,most commonly at weirs,waterfalls and other places where there is a sudden change in water level.

Both gabions and mattresses are usually referred to as basklets and they come in a variety of dimensions, from dinky **0***0***0mm mini gabion for decirative use in gardens to 2m*3m*0.5m mattresses for river bed protection.There is a range of mesh sizesto suit the various applications,and different structrural formats.They are relatively in cheap,and by simple to install,the cost is kept to a minimum,compared to masonry or treinforced concrete,and the finished result is often very aesthetically pleasing.
