Each gabion block features an internal lining of high-quality non-woven geotextile that securely retains the fill material within the cells. The geotextile lining overlaps and is fastened to the upper edge, while the lower portion remains free to form an effective seal during folding at the installation site, ensuring reliable soil retention. This specially engineered geotextile offers superior UV resistance compared to standard non-woven materials, ensuring long-term durability. For extended structures, gabion blocks can be interconnected using connecting pins, allowing the system to achieve the required length while maintaining structural integrity.

Advantages of Welded Protective Barriers
Made from galvanized, rust-resistant alloys. Guaranteed service life of at least 5 years for outdoor use and 10 years in storage.
Connected by circular spring joints, allowing 360° rotation. Foldable units save significant space during transport and storage.
Thicker mesh panels combined with reinforced geotextile create robust structural strength for demanding environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What materials are used for these barriers?
The barriers are made from galvanized steel wire or Galfan (Zinc-5% Aluminum) wire for superior corrosion resistance. The lining is a high-quality non-woven geotextile (250-400 g/m²).
How long do the gabion barriers last?
They offer a minimum service life of 5 years in outdoor conditions and up to 10 years when kept in storage, thanks to UV-stabilized materials and rust-resistant coatings.
Can multiple units be connected?
Yes, individual blocks can be easily interconnected using specialized connecting pins to form a continuous barrier of any required length.
Are they effective for coastal protection?
Absolutely. They are specifically designed to withstand tidal forces and wave impact, making them ideal for stabilizing shorelines and preventing coastal erosion.
What are the available mesh sizes?
Standard mesh openings include 76.2×76.2 mm, 50×50 mm, 75×75 mm, and 100×100 mm, with wire diameters of 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm.
How are the barriers shipped?
The units feature a 360° foldable design for compact transport. They are typically shipped shrink-wrapped or palletized to ensure safe delivery.
