    THE ADVANTAGES OF GABIONS:
    1. FLEXIBLE
    Superior to rigid type structures. The hexagonal mesh construction permits natural adjustment to varying conditions of earth settlement without causing fracture or collapse of the structure.
    2. DURABLE
    Gaps between the stones silt up naturally as time passes. Silting supports the growth of grass and plants which serve as a bonding agent for the stone.
    3. PERMEABLE
    A Gabion structure allows water to pass through, water pressure cannot build up behind it and the structure is continuously drained.
    4. STRONG
    The flexibility of the Gabion structure provides the inherent strength to withstand and dissipate pressures exerted by water and earth masses.
    5. ECONOMICAL
    Filling materials are usually found on or near the site. No structural maintenance is needed and foundation work is usually unnecessary.
    6. NATURAL APPEARANCE
    Natural stone makes the structure aesthetically pleasing especially when subsequent vegetation growth takes place.
    7. SIMPLE
    Unskilled labour can be used for quick assembly.
    8. MAINTENANCE
    Gabion structures are easily maintained using additional mesh or grouting.
    9. FUNCTIONABLE
    Once the structure is built there is no waiting period – it functions immediately.
    10. EXTENDABLE
    Extensions are simple. Additional units are simply attached to the existing ones.

     The gabion wire diameter can range from 2mm to 8mm and the gabion basket can either be welded or woven, galvanised or plastic coated, depending on application.
