Gabion

Double Twist Hexagonal Mesh Gabion
The strength of HESLY's hexagonal mesh gabion comes from a double twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse diaphragms. The double twisted wire will not unravel, even when the gabion is cut.


HESLY gabions are easily assembled, and require no specialized labor; nearby rock can be used for fill. HESLY gabions are available with different levels of protective coating for durability.

Strong, flexible system for commercial, industrial or road projects
Gabions are a trusted, technically sound way to retain earth and combat soil erosion. They’ve been used in Australia for more than 50 years, in locations ranging from remote mine sites to urban parks.

How do Gabions work?
Gabions are rectangular woven wire mesh baskets filled with rock to create flexible, permeable structures such as retaining walls for mining, industrial and road projects. They are also used for erosion protection, weirs and bank stabilisation and to create architectural and design features. Their strength comes from a double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire, reinforced by heavier gauge wire along the edges and internal diaphragms.

Gabions have the ability to withstand high water pressures and can be easily adapted to site conditions.
