TERRASTOP GABIONS & MATTRESSES
TerraStop™ Gabions & Mattresses are typically heavily galvanized, hexagonal steel-wire mesh cages. Units are either zinc galvanised or additionally PVC coated to ensure extra durability within the surrounding environment.
However, a more superior coating is also available in severe corrosive conditions such as in marine environments. The development of a Zinc + 5% Aluminium alloy known as Aluzinc is the next step in the fight against steel corrosion. This can also have an additional PVC coating on the Aluzinc alloy for Ultimate Durability.
TerraStop™ Gabions & Mattresses create flexible, durable and permanent structures that resist erosive forces. In structural applications, mass gravity gabion walls can resist significant earth pressures that cause overturning, and in architectural applications, select gabion rock infill coupled with quality workmanship can produce an aesthetically pleasing gabion wall that blends in with the natural environment.
