Installation:
Gabions should be positioned as required and adjacent units
connected. Once in position, gabion units should be stretched
taught to provide a neat straight alignment and where a high
standard of rock facing is required to the gabions, additional
formwork may be used on the face of the cage to provide an even
straighter, neater finish.
The lid of the gabion that remains open during the filling process
should be folded back out of the way whilst filling.
Rock should them be machine placed into the gabion unit to about
one third height of a typical 1m high cage. Laborers should then
hand position the rock against the front face of the cage to ensure
a neat, tightly packed finish.
Lastly, the gabion lid is pulled over into position on top of the
rock and is laced closed to the perimeter of the gabion cage and to
each of the vertical partitions/diaphragms within the gabion cage.
