Maccaferri Gabion are used for construction of retaining structures in all environments and climates. They are rectangular cages made of hexagonal woven steel wire mesh laced together and filled with stone. Maccaferri Gabions have been used for a variety of application in sectors of housing and commercial, roads and railways, bank stabilization, erosion control, as architectural cladding and noise barriers etc. The variety of Gabion applications combined with the testimonial of existing gabion structures built since 1894, represents the reliability and reassurance that Maccaferri offers its clients

Monolithicity:  Retaining Structures made from Maccaferri Gabions are made by various elements linked through continuous fastening. The latter ensures mesh continuity and allows regular distribution of the imposed forces along the three dimensions.

The settling of soil transported by water in the voids between stones and the eventual appearance of vegetation increases monolithicity.

Flexibility: The flexibility of Maccaferri Gabions enables the retaining structures to deform while maintaining its function whereas such situations would cause rigid or near rigid structures to collapse.

Permeability: Spaces between stones in gabion retaining walls enable fluid movement and hence prevent the development of hydraulic pressures at the back of the retaining structures.

Economy & Simplicity: Construction of Retaining Structures using Maccaferri Gabions does not require specialist labour force or special equipment. The Gabions are filled with natural or quarried stones obtained locally and minimum foundation preparation is needed.

Ecologically feasible: The Gabion structure blends easily and harmoniously with natural surroundings. They allow growth of vegetation maintain the existing environment and are suitable for decorative landscaping

Soundproofing: Retaining structures constructed from Maccaferri Gabions offer significant soundproofing characteristics (18-28 decibel).
