Gabion - Copper and Polymer Gabion











 

Copper and Polymer Gabions are rectangular or cylindrical baskets fabricated from polymer meshes and usually filled with stone and used for structural purposes such as retaining walls, revetments, slope protection, and similar applications. Techfab India manufactures a range of flexible copper & polymer gabions and mattresses from UV stabilized polypropylene rope with copper inserts. These are fabricated from ropes of suitable diameter into a box like form with required size and apertures.

Ropes with copper wire inserts are used for lifting sling / border rope. Internal diaphragms are provided (usually at 1m intervals) to divide the gabion into compartments for better stability. Built-in slings can be incorporated to facilitate lifting of pre-filled gabions.
