Beyond the Rocks: The Engineering Excellence Inside Every Nova Gabion Basket

Aug. 22, 2025

To the untrained eye, a gabion basket might look simple—a wire box filled with rocks. However, at Nova Gabion, the true value and performance lie in the engineering details invisible to the naked eye. This August, we’re pulling back the curtain on what makes our products the superior choice for demanding projects.

The heart of our product is the double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh. This unique design provides exceptional flexibility and strength. Under load, the mesh can adjust without losing its structural integrity, preventing catastrophic failure.

But steel wire needs protection. That’s why we employ a high-density PVC coating applied through a rigorous process. This isn’t just a thin layer of paint; it’s a robust shield that is rigorously tested to withstand:

Salt Spray (ASTM B117): Ensuring performance in coastal areas.

UV Resistance (ASTM G154): Preventing degradation from the summer sun.

Abrasion Resistance: Protecting against physical wear and tear.

Every batch of wire is tested for tensile strength, elongation, and coating adhesion according to international standards like EN 10223-3 and ASTM A975. This commitment to quality control guarantees that every basket we produce will perform as specified, year after year.

When you specify Nova Gabion, you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in decades of engineering expertise, rigorous testing, and a commitment to durability that stands up to the harshest conditions.

Don't compromise on the components that protect your most important assets. Visit our website to download our technical specifications and see the data behind the durability. Let Nova Gabion be the trusted foundation for your next project.
