Green Gabions®
Green Gabion® is an environmental friendly trapezoidal gabion type used for erosion control for rivers, shorelines and streambanks. They provide immediate and long-term erosion control and create hospitable conditions for plant establishment. Green Gabions® help to slow water velocities near the banks and trap sediment. They are made of PVC coated wire mesh baskets with an inclined face of 45° or 60°, lined with a coconut fiber blanket on the facing and filled with a mix of stone and topsoil. The 1000 gr/m2 heavy coconut mat has a durability of 3 to 5 years that allows vegetation establishment. The integration of the vegetation provides a high resistance and durability of the structure. As the root system develops, it reinforces the soil providing a significant resistance to the structure. Live staking and brush layering are two soil bioengineering techniques frequently use with Green Gabion® to enhance the vegetation.
