GABION (15).MP4

Benefits of gabion walls: • Aesthetic – gabion walls look natural and by using natural materials fits into the environment • Compatibility with the environment – using the material made by excavations the costs of acquisition and transport are significantly reduced • Is used as a cooling system in hot climate conditions and provides passve cooling by air movement • Water permeability – gabion walls are permeable and are not damaged by passing water • Efficiency of gabion walls can increase in time, since the vegetation fills voids and strengthens the wall structure • Soil movements don’t negatively influence gabion walls, which is an advantage in regard to stiffer structures (reinforced concrete walls) • Longevity – stone blocks are materials that are frequently used beacuse of their longevity, durability and stability. Usually the stone is selected beacuse of aesthetic attributes or the possibility of excavation produced material usage.
