Maccaferri Green Gabions are modular gabion units used for streambank stabilization, restoration and erosion protection solutions.
They are is specifically designed for use with soil bioengineering techniques such as live staking, brush layering and rooted plants, to create permanent, vegetating, armoured systems. The Green Gabion consists of a basket manufactured from heavily galvanized and polymer coated double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh which is lined with a 100% coir blanket. The unit is filled in-place with gabion stone and then the voids between the stones are filled with quality topsoil, before the unit is closed.
The topsoil sustains the establishment of the vegetating soil-bioengineering techniques, and the stone fill provides a tough skeleton to the system.
Maccaferri gabions are manufactured in our factories around the world. The management and production system in many of our factories is certified in compliance with ISO 9001.
In selected factories, the mesh is produced in accordance with 305/2011 regulation (ex. 89/106/CEE) and in compliance with standard EN10223-3:2013. The management and production system is certified in compliance with standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (related to the environmental management system).
