  • Securing a slope with gabions – fleece water conduits

    A close-up of gabion wire mesh panels forming a fence or retaining wall, with a black cable looped through the grid. Gravel and dirt are visible on the ground, and a white material lines the inside of the structure. www.commaik.de

    Over the last few weeks, I have now removed the plateau and rebuilt the slope. The gabions were also set up and aligned. However, further preparations are required before backfilling can begin.

    A modern house stands behind tall gabion walls filled with rocks under a sunny sky. The ground in front is scattered with wood chips and construction materials, while trees and blue sky frame the scene in the background. www.commaik.de

    After I had removed the earth slope the previous week and the subsoil had also been largely removed, I was able to start assembling and placing the gabions.

    In order to be able to further expand the entrance area to the estate agent’s office with its small decorative gabion wall and to finally be able to offer parking spaces, an approx. 25 meter long earth slope is to be built narrower and higher. I will build a new gabion wall

    I have already installed a few gabions on our property. Gabions are metal baskets that are filled with stones and thus have a decorative purpose as well as a static one. I spent more than a year working on a 30-meter-long slope stabilization with gabions.
