Maccaferri Gabion is a Double-Twisted \u201cDT\u201d wire mesh container of variable sizes uniformly partitioned into internal cells, interconnected with other similar units and filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as mass gravity walls, channel linings, revetments, and weirs for geotechnical, hydraulic and erosion control projects.<\/p>

Maccaferri gabion baskets are made from high-quality steel wire. What sets us apart is the possibility to manufacture our solutions with thicker diameters, ensuring higher mechanical performance.<\/p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The innovative protective polymeric coating PoliMac\u00ae is also applied for gabions that are to be used in more aggressive environments, or where a longer design life is required. PoliMac\u00ae is the revolutionary coating that can withstand the most aggressive environmental conditions, leading to a great performance upgrade. PoliMac\u00ae ensures:<\/p>


<\/p>

\u2022\t12x resistance to abrasion<\/p>

\u2022\t2x resistance to chemical aggressions<\/p>

\u2022\t4x performance in cold weather<\/p>

\u2022\t4x resistance to UV rays<\/p>

With Maccaferri GAWAC 3.0, the new software developed for the design and optimization of Gabion Walls, the user will discover the GSC concept, an experimental coefficient that evaluates the long-term performance of the structure.<\/p><\/p><\/div>

GSC introduces:<\/p>

–\tLong-term performance at 120 years of service life<\/p>

–\tExperimentally tested and numerically verified method<\/p>

–\tIncreased cost-effectivity of the design<\/p>

–\tSignificant environmental benefits<\/p>


<\/p>

The GSC approach combined with PoliMac\u00ae coated gabions leads to a reduction of the input material for the construction of the gabion wall and up 40% savings of CO2 emissions. Indeed, gabions enhance the biodiversification and the growth of vegetation, inducing CO2 sequestration: compared to concrete walls, the emissions are reduced by 10 times.<\/p>


<\/p>

Our gabions reduce the total cost of ownership of the solution:<\/p>

\u2022\tMaterial reduction: less stone means savings! Thanks to the GSC concept the amount of material needed to build a gabion wall is drastically reduced.<\/p>

\u2022\tMore performance: PoliMac coating means outstanding performance in harsh conditions. It will preserve the structure, reducing maintenance costs.<\/p>

\u2022\tFaster installation: material reduction means easier and faster installation. An optimized design increases the production rate.<\/p>

\u2022\tEnvironment first: reduction of quarry stones means cutting the environmental burden.<\/p>
