Gabion Systems

Gabion Baskets

Geosynthetic Systems has been a distributor of gabions for nearly 25 years (which includes dozens of installations). No one in the region can claim a better understanding or more experience with these versatile products.
Double Twisted Hexagonal Mesh Gabions & Reno Mattresses have been used for channel linings, river training, soil retention, slope stabilization, and other applications successfully throughout the world for over 100 years. Gabions offer many advantages over other types of construction materials, such as:

  • flexibility,
  • durability,
  • strength,
  • permeability,
  • ecology,
  • reliability,
  • longevity,
  • low cost,
  • aesthetic appearance.

    In addition to the standard 1m high x 1m deep basket sizes Geosynthetic Systems also offers a line of Mini Gabions. These economical alternatives offer great flexibility in design while causing a lower environmental impact, lower purchase price and savings in excavation and installation costs.

Engineered Walls

Over the last 30 years Geosynthetic Systems has been involved in many slope stabilization projects utilizing numerous solutions and soil management approaches. We promote several products & systems for use on sites with challenging grade changes, including TerraSlope® & TerraSteep®.

TerraSlope® -Slope Retention System is a complete and fully integrated Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) system. It delivers the benefits of performance, economy and beauty for almost any grade separation challenges that you might face. It also offers many advantages over alternate options including:
• Save 30% to 60% over concrete retaining walls
• Create usable land in previously undeveloped areas
• Enhance property values with naturally vegetated facing options
• Install quickly without specialized fill materials

TerraSteep®
For slopes steeper than 1:1 there's TerraSteep, which incorporates wire forms to allow for construction of angles greater than 45 degrees up to vertical. TerraSteep combines the technololgy of TerraSlope systems with superior structural integrity and enhanced performance when compared with other techniques.
