Gabiony

Gabiony is an element in the form of blocks made of wire mesh nettings of
twisted hexagonal opening or welded square or rectangular openings, which is
filled with natural stone for river, hill protection or construction.

The gabions shall be unfolded on the ground and stretched to the maximum extent
possible while ensuring that all creases are in the correct positions for
forming the box. Any cutting required shall be carried out so that the cut ends
of wire are a minimum of 50 millimetres from the twisted joins. After
stretching and cutting as required the side and end panels shall be lifted so
that the tops of all sides are level. Any loose ends of wire protruding above a
level plane at the top or from the corners shall be bent down into the box.
Corners shall be fastened securely and the box shaped prior to commencing any
binding.
