Flexibility :
Gabions tolerate differential settlement without fracture. This is especially important when building on unstable ground or in marine or river applications where waves or currents are a consideration.
Permeability :
Hydrostatic heads do not develop behind gabion structures because of their permeable nature .They are free draining structures ideal for slope stabilization and retaining walls
Durability :
The durability of gabion structures increase with age. As Consolidation takes place, silt and soil collect in the voids and vegetation becomes established
Ecology :
Gabions permit the growth of vegetation and maintain the existing environment, they provide attractive and natural building blocks for decorative landscaping.
Cost Effectiveness :
Requiring unskilled labour and limited plant, a gabion structure can be built anywhere at low cost
