  • Securing slopes with gabions – building corners and curves

    A metal wire gabion cage is positioned on muddy ground next to soil, with black cylindrical planting trays and other gabions nearby, likely at a construction or landscaping site. www.commaik.de

    The stone baskets for the gabion wall were erected over a length of a good 20 meters within a few weeks.

  • Securing the slope with gabions – preparing the ground with the excavator

    A yellow excavator is digging earth along a muddy construction site, creating a steep dirt slope next to trees and residential buildings, where gabion baskets may soon be installed for added slope stability. www.commaik.de

    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.
