Gabions
Our Legacy in every twist
Our Legacy in every twist
Born at the inception of our company, the Maccaferri Gabion is more than a product—it's a cornerstone of innovation. These Double-Twisted "DT" wire mesh containers transform into flexible, permeable structures like gravity walls, retaining walls and revetments, pivotal for modern geotechnical and erosion control projects.
PoliMac® Coating: Engineering Resilience
Infused with our groundbreaking PoliMac® coating, our gabions defy the harshest elements. This coating enhances their durability against abrasion, chemicals, cold, and UV rays, ensuring they withstand time and nature alike. Also available is Bio PoliMac®, made from bio-naphtha derived from sustainable raw materials and originated from biobased feedstock , further emphasizing our commitment to environmental sustainability.
Optimizing with Maccaferri GAWAC 3.0
The future of structural integrity is here with our GAWAC 3.0 software. It uses the GSC concept to predict a century-spanning lifespan, marrying cost-effectiveness with robust environmental stewardship.
Sustainable Engineering
By integrating PoliMac® with the GSC concept, we’re setting new standards in sustainability—reducing material use, slashing CO2 emissions by 40%, and fostering an environment where nature thrives alongside human ingenuity. Visit maccaferri.com/EPD to see how we're pioneering products that respect both the planet and our future. Embrace a design philosophy that's as economically savvy as it is environmentally sound.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
The strategic use of gabions results in a lower total cost of ownership by:
- Reducing the amount of stone required, thus saving costs
- Offering outstanding performance with PoliMac® coating, which minimizes maintenance needs
- Facilitating faster and easier installation due to material reduction, thereby increasing production rates
- Prioritizing the environment by cutting down on quarry stone extraction

AMBUKLAO DAM UPSTREAM SLOPE (PHASE II)
Philippines
Ambuklao Hydroelectric Plant is located in the mountains of Bokod, Benguet and is about 36 kilometers northeast of Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines. Ambuklao HP was designed to provide 75 MW of energy to the Luzon power grid. When SN Aboitiz Power—Benguet, Inc. took over the operation of the power plant, they began major rehabilitation and upgrade of the facility. This included works on the upstream slope of dam slope that suffered major erosion problem since 1999 when the power plant stopped its operation. In this, a practical and effective erosion protection that can last for the intended design life of the structure was required.

BALLIMORE STORMWATER OUTFALL, NSW
Australia
Maccaferri Pty Ltd was approached by Rail Infrastructure Corporation (RIC) for design assistance on an energy dissipater for a stormwater outfall. The preliminary design was a reinforced concrete USBR (United States Bureau of Reclamation) style dissipater. With time and budget constraints against RIC, Maccaferri had to act quickly to deliver a solution for their needs. A further requirement for RIC was that the design had to be certified.

BARRAGEM CAMPEIRA - CRISTALÂNDIA
The Campeira Dam is responsible for supplying water to the city of Cristalândia (TO) for most of the year. A few years ago, after intense periods of rainfall, the dam's spillway, which was 7 metres wide, was not sufficient to release all the excess water from the reservoir, causing it to overflow and consequently the erosion of the shoulders and the dam's structure to be compromised.
