Enviromesh - Block Wall

Rock filled gabions have been around for many years. The success of the welded mesh gabion system has resulted in a much higher quality of installation with them now becoming the market leader for architectural, commercial, housing and landscaping solutions to retaining and cladding structures.

The main advantages that the welded mesh gabion system provide are:

• Ease of construction.
• Use of locally available fills or recycled fills.
• Flexibility of wire diameter and mesh specifications enabling the required functionality and aesthetics
  to be achieved.

With the recent development of the welded mesh Gabion 27 system (686mm high gabions) to further improve the quality and constructability of gabions, the market response has been so successful that nearly all design work undertaken by our in house brand Enviromesh utilises this concept and is rapidly becoming established in the industry as a market leader for even higher quality construction.

Developing the system further has resulted in a new complementary facing, Block Wall, a concrete block facing with a textured rock face secured externally to the gabion face giving the appearance of a natural rock face with no visible mesh wires. The block being securely fixed to the gabion provides a monolithic structure whereby the mass of the block and the gabion provide the stability.

Block Dimensions  

The blocks are available as:

• Full blocks (0.686m x 0.235m x 120mm),
• Half blocks (0.343m x 0.235m x 120mm) 
• End blocks for wall returns enabling a stretcher bond laying pattern to be achieved.
