    GABION PROTECTION & GABION EROSION CONTROL

    Gabion protection and gabion erosion control are areas where Concrete Canvas® (CC) can be used to rapidly repair any damage and provide long-term protection to gabion walls. CC can also be used to upgrade or increase the operational life of a gabion structure.

    WHY USE CC?

    CC can be fixed to gabions without any specialist equipment, using a variety of off-the-shelf hand tools, including hog-ringing, pigtail fixing or wire fixing.

    Encapsulating a gabion structure in CC will protect the asset from theft or vandalism of the cage structure and/or fill material. CC will also protect the geotextile liner of a gabion structure from environmental and UV damage, preventing washout of the fines and loss of fill material, maintaining the structure’s integrity.
