Case Study: Flood Defense in Bangladesh
A 2022 project using 1,200+ gabion baskets along the Brahmaputra River achieved:
- 90% reduction in flood damage during the monsoon season.
- 40% faster installation vs. concrete levees.
- Local vegetation regrowth within 4 months.
Customization Options
- Wire Strength: Upgrade to 5.0mm for high-impact zones (e.g., military bases).
- Color Matching: Green, black, or gray PVC to blend with surroundings.
- Dividers: Internal compartments every 1m for precise stone placement.
Installation Guide
- Prepare Base: Compact soil and lay geotextile fabric (optional).
- Assemble: Unfold panels, connect with spiral binders, and secure corners.
- Fill: Use 100-300mm stones – avoid sharp edges to prevent PVC damage.
- Close: Lock lids with stainless steel ties and trim excess wire.
Pro Tip: Stack in 1:1 (max 3 tiers) or 1:3 (unlimited) slopes for retaining walls.
