Gabion Box
Three gabion formats, each with its own published size table, for bank protection that has to flex instead of crack.
Gabions and Mattresses for Water Conservancy and Erosion Control
Structures that deflect with the ground and let the water through.
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong on Water Conservancy and Erosion Control Projects
Concrete bank protection cracks when the ground settles and traps hydrostatic pressure behind it.
Emergency river works cannot wait for formwork or skilled labour.
Scour at a bridge pier progresses faster than a procurement cycle.
Aggressive water eats a single zinc coating within the design life.
What Buyers Need From A Supplier
- A flexible structure that withstands ground settlement and scour by deflection while keeping its structural integrity
- Permeable fill so water seeps through while soil is retained, with no additional drainage
- Formats that can be filled and launched on site, including under water
- Coating options up to an additional polymer layer over the base coating

Scenarios
Typical Application Scenarios
River training
Sack gabions filled with stone on site and launched, with reinforcing wires already fitted to help close them.
Channel lining
Reno mattresses 3-6 m long and 0.15-0.30 m thick in 5x7 or 6x8 mesh.
Flood bank
Gabion boxes in 80x100 or 100x120 mm mesh with PVC coated wire.
Bridge protection
Gabion boxes around piers, folded flat for delivery and assembled on site.
Delivery Capability
How We Deliver
Gabion units fold flat, which is a real freight saving on a bulk civil order. Hexagonal netting for the gabions is woven in the same plant, so the netting specification and the finished unit come from one production record.
FAQ
Water Conservancy and Erosion Control Questions
Why choose gabions over a concrete wall?
Because they deflect. The catalogue lists no collapse even under a big scope of deforming, and good permeation that prevents damage by hydrostatic pressure. A concrete wall does neither.
Can gabions be installed under water?
Sack gabions can. They are filled with stone at the site and launched, and baskets can be prefilled and launched to enable installation under water.
What coating protection is available for aggressive water?
Reno mattresses are made from coated wire offering about three times greater protection than zinc coated wire mattresses, and where the environment is more aggressive an additional polymer protective coating is applied over it.
Do the products meet recognised standards?
Sack gabions are made according to ASTM A 975 and EN 10223. Reno mattress physical and mechanical properties meet or exceed ASTM A975-97.
