QIAOSHI – Hesco Concertainer Gabions
The more conventional use of gabions is illustrated here in a number of civil engineering projects.
The Hesco Concertainer gabion is available in a number of different mesh configurations and finishes to suit a range of applications.
In most cases a unit with a larger diameter mesh is chosen for the facing panel to enable the contractor to achieve the best aesthetic finish.
