A gabion is a cage, cylinder or box filled with rocks, concrete, or sometimes sand and soil for use in civil engineering, road building, military applications and landscaping. For erosion control, caged riprap is used. For dams or in foundation construction, cylindrical metal structures are used.
What are gabion cages used for?
Gabion baskets (or gabion cages) are a cost effective, robust and easy to install solution for a range of applications, from commercial and domestic landscaping, to retaining walls and coastal protection.
What is a gabion and how does it work?
The purpose of a gabion revetment is to provide short term (5-10 years) protection from backshore erosion by absorbing wave energy along the dune face. Their application is restricted to the upper part of sandy beaches, since they are not sufficiently durable to withstand regular direct wave action.
