The Gabion 27 System is a high quality product which can be quickly installed enabling reduced sectional wall design requirements. This combination of benefits, result in savings on labour costs, overall material supply and associated earthworks.
Gabion Construction
The Gabion 27 System comprises of units that are subdivided into 686mm cells along the length of the cage. Construction is such that the base of the gabion forms the lid of the unit below. The base is extended by fixed dimensions on one face to allow for a predetermined stepping arrangement at each course. The base on the other face is flush, allowing for a flush faced wall to be constructed if required or coursing with a combination of flush and stepped faces. |

Reduced Construction Times
The use of combined lids and bases reduces the construction time, but does not compromise the structural integrity of the system.
Superior Design
The mesh weight to volume ratio is greater with this system than the Gabion 39 system and the distribution of mesh within the structure is more even thus producing a higher quality of installation. The face and rear panels are manufactured from a heavier mesh wire diameter to maintain both better linear and lateral alignment.
