High-Strength PVC Gabion Stone Retaining Wall System For Tidal
Barrage Reinforcement And Estuarine Flood Control Projects
Constructed with double-twisted hexagonal steel mesh (3.2-4.0mm
wire) and ISO 1461-compliant galvanization (≥275g/m²), our gabion
walls are engineered for tidal barrage reinforcement and estuarine
flood control. The 70×90mm mesh configuration integrates with
anti-salinity geocomposites to stabilize brackish water zones and
lockgate peripheries. Designed for curved installations in harbor
basins and saltmarsh restoration projects, the system supports
hybrid stone-concrete fills (200-400mm) for wave energy
dissipation. Customizable in segmented modules (1-4m height) with
sacrificial anode compatibility for extended service life in
aggressive coastal environments.
Advantages of PVC-Coated Gabions:
Superior Corrosion & Salt-Water Resistance – The extra PVC skin shields the zinc layer from aggressive
coastal or acid soils, doubling the service life compared with
plain galvanized baskets.
High UV & Ozone Stability – Special UV inhibitors in the PVC blend prevent cracking or
chalking under intense tropical sun, keeping the coating flexible
for decades.
Extra Abrasion Defense – The 0.5–1.0 mm thick polymer sheath acts as a “cushion” against
stone rubbing, wave-borne sand or floating debris, so the
underlying wire retains its tensile strength.
Quiet, Low-Maintenance Solution – No rust stains, no annual painting; once filled, the structure
needs only visual inspections, cutting life-cycle costs for remote
Philippine or Latin-American sites.
Green Aesthetic Option – PVC is supplied in earth-tone or vegetation-green colors that
blend with natural slopes and can even be co-extruded with a matte
finish to mimic rock.
Faster, Safer Installation – Uniform 6×8 cm or 8×10 cm mesh plus pre-attached diaphragms let
local crews assemble 30 % quicker than concrete walls, reducing
labor budgets and on-site risks.
Flexible yet Strong – The double-twist hexagonal weave allows controlled settlement
without structural failure, ideal for seismic zones or soft
riverbank soils.
Permeable & Eco-Friendly – Open stone fill drains freely, eliminating hydro-static pressure
and letting plants colonize the face, turning the wall into a
living retaining system.
Product Introduction:
Gabion retaining walls are flexible, wire-mesh structures filled
with rocks, stones, or other materials. These retaining walls are
designed to control soil erosion, prevent landslides, and manage
water flow. They consist of wire mesh cages filled with stones to
form a sturdy natural barrier that can withstand soil pressure and
water impact.

Product Advantages:
Durability: Gabion retaining walls have a long service life and can withstand
harsh environmental conditions. The wire mesh is usually galvanized
or PVC-coated to prevent corrosion, ensuring the wall structure
remains stable for many years.
Flexibility: Unlike rigid retaining walls, gabion retaining walls are flexible
and can adapt to ground movement without cracking or failing. This
makes them ideal for areas prone to soil erosion or seismic
activity.
Permeability: The porous nature of gabion retaining walls allows water to pass
through, reducing water pressure behind the wall and preventing
water-related damage.
Environmental Friendliness: Gabion retaining walls use natural materials and can seamlessly
blend with the environment. They can be constructed with locally
sourced stones to minimize environmental impact.
Cost-effectiveness: Gabion retaining walls are relatively inexpensive to build and
maintain. The materials are affordable, and the construction
process is simple, requiring less labor and equipment.
Aesthetic Appeal: Gabion retaining walls have a natural, rustic appearance that can
enhance the visual appeal of any landscape. They can be customized
with different types and colors of stones to match the surrounding
environment.
Application Fields:
Water Conservancy Projects: Used for embankments, riverbank protection, and waterway lining to
effectively prevent scouring by water flow.
Environmental Protection: Play an important role in ecological restoration and soil
conservation.
Road Protection: Protect road foundations, enhancing the stability and durability
of roads.
Coastal Protection: Used in seawalls and port projects to resist wave erosion.
Architectural Decoration: Used as decorative elements on building exteriors, providing a
unique visual effect.

Architectural Gabion Applications
Military defences
Recently, Weld Mesh Gabions have been regularly used as
architectural retaining walls, as well as architectural cladding
for buildings. This is a testament to the quality of finish that is
possible with Welded Mesh Gabions when constructed properly.
All our welded mesh gabions are manufactured in China, giving us
the flexibility to supply made to order non-standard sizes and
configurations with a minimal lead-in time. We can supply almost
any specification or combination of specifications of gabions for
all applications and durability specifications. Types of mesh in
stock are 3mm Galfan, 4mm Galfan, 5mm galfan and 3mm green Organic
Polymer coated. One popular configuration is 4mm diameter mesh in
the front and 3mm diameter mesh everywhere else for extra vandal
resistance on the front exposed face of the gabions.
Gabions can be supplied to anywhere in the country and the world.
Our welded mesh gabions are usually supplied flat packed for ease
of transportation. Our Gabions can also be pre-filled, but only
when absolutely necessary because of high transportation and
installation costs, as well as compromising the ability of the wall
to redistribute loads because adjoining gabions are not
interconnected as well.
You are cordially welcome to negotiate business by phone, or email.
