EPD: Galvanized steel gabions (cages), Mesh size = 8 x 10 mm, Maccaferri Gabions, Jumbo Gabio, Cubiroc - Prefilled Gabion, ReadyMac, Green Gabion, MacSoil, Sack Gabion, Gabion - Strong Face (Officine Maccaferri (Italy) (2021))

Maccaferri Gabions are cages which are engineered from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh. Delivered flat-packed, our gabions are assembled and then filled with stones at the project site. There are numerous uses for these modular units and are typically used to form flexible, permeable and monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, hydraulic control structures and erosion protection. They are increasingly being used in architectural applications as well. Maccaferri gabion baskets are made from high quality steel wire, which is heavily galvanised. An additional protective polymeric coating is also applied for gabions that are to be used in more aggressive environments, or where a longer design life is required. We offer a wide range of gabions to suit specific project needs, from prefilled gabions to gabions specifically designed for use with soil bioengineering techniques.
