ASTM 975 Teramesh Type Retaining Wall System Metal Gabion Baskets
The modular is used to build rock-faced reinforced soil barriers and embankments (also known as mechanically stabilized earth). It has been utilized on some of the most important infrastructure projects throughout the world, including what is thought to be the world's highest reinforced soil structure, standing 74 meters high.
Nova metal gabion baskets are built up with heavily galvanized iron wire or Galfan-coated iron wire with an optional PVC coating to resist corrosion.
