PicoGabion™
Gabion Cage
Modular wire mesh cage for erosion protection and retaining structures.
Material
Galvanised Steel Wire
Key Performance
Flexible • Permeable
Applications
Riverbanks • Retaining Walls
Product Definition
PicoGabion™ is a modular cage formed from double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh.
When filled with suitable graded stone, it creates a flexible and permeable gravity structure for earth retention, erosion control and hydraulic protection. An additional PVC coating is available for demanding exposure conditions.
How It Works
Cage Assembly
Wire mesh panels are connected to form the gabion cage structure.
Stone Filling
The cage is filled with suitable graded stone to create a stable structural mass.
Gravity Stability
The filled structure uses its weight to retain soil and resist hydraulic forces.
Drainage & Flexibility
Open stone voids allow water flow, while the mesh accommodates limited ground movement.
Key Benefits
Gravity Stability
Provides mass and stability for earth-retaining and erosion-control structures.
Natural Drainage
Allows water to pass through, helping reduce hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Flexible Structure
Accommodates limited settlement without sudden structural failure.
Corrosion Protection
Galvanised wire and optional PVC coating available for different environments.
Modular Construction
Flat-packed cages allow efficient transportation and on-site assembly.
Applications
Ideal for projects requiring flexible retaining structures and hydraulic erosion protection.
Riverbanks & Channels
Protects banks and channel edges against hydraulic erosion.
Retaining Walls
Creates permeable gravity walls for infrastructure and landscaping.
Slopes & Embankments
Provides flexible protection for erosion-prone earthworks.
Roads & Railways
Used for retaining, drainage and erosion-control structures.
Landscape Structures
Suitable for landscape walls and natural stone features.
