MARINE WORK
Gabion work, specifically in marine applications, involves using wire mesh cages filled with rocks to create
structures that offer protection against erosion, shoreline damage, and wave action. These structures are
commonly used for sea walls, revetments, and other coastal defences, utilizing the flexibility and permeability of
gabions to withstand harsh marine environments.
Installation Steps
- Excavate the site and prepare a level base.
- Place geotextile fabric (if needed) to prevent soil migration
- Assemble and position gabion boxes
- Fill the boxes with stones, ensuring minimal voids for stability.
- Secure and fasten the mesh covers tightly
- Backfill with compacted soil behind the wall to support the structure.
Advantages
- Shoreline and Coastal Slope Protection.
- Erosion Control
- Improved Drainage
- Natural Aesthetic and Ecological Benefits
- Cost-Effectiveness and Ease of Installation
