A gabion is a cage or box filled with rocks, concrete, or sometimes sand and soil for use in civil engineering, road building, military applications, and landscaping. Modern gabions are woven from hexagonal-shaped, double-twisted steel wire with zinc galvanization or PVC coating, then filled with stones on-site to form flexible, permeable, and monolithic structures.
At Nova Gabion, we manufacture gabion boxes and revet mattresses that meet the highest international standards, including ASTM A975 and EN 10223.
Key Specifications
Our standard gabion boxes feature an 8 x 10 mesh type with a nominal mesh opening of 83 by 114 mm. The mesh wire diameter is 3.05 mm, with selvedge wire at 3.8 mm and lacing wire at 2.2 mm. The tensile strength of the wire ranges from 350 to 550 MPa, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Four Coating Options
Nova provides four wire coating choices to suit different environments and project lifespans:
Heavy galvanized
Heavy galvanized with PVC coating
Galfan coated
PVC coated with 0.50 mm nominal thickness
Applications
Our gabion systems are trusted across multiple sectors:
Erosion Control & Slope Stabilization — permeable design allows natural drainage while maintaining structural integrity
Retaining Walls — adapt to uneven terrain and reduce hydrostatic pressure
Landscape Architecture — modular for creative designs in gardens, parks, and urban spaces
Infrastructure Projects — reliable support for highway embankments and bridge abutments
