DESCRIPTION
The Gabion is a box in regular prismatic form, made with metallic mesh of triple torsion of galvanized wire class III. The Mesh has the necessary rigidity that it facilitates the installation of the fascione .
USES

RETAINING WALLS
The walls of Fasciones are designed to maintain a difference in the ground levels in their two sides constituting an important group of elements of support and protection when it is located in beds of rivers.

GROUND CONSERVATION
The accelerated hydric erosion is considered extremely detrimental for grounds, due to this one phenomenon, great fertile ground surfaces are lost; since the solid material that is given off in the parts middle and high discharge of the river basin, causes the saturation of the hydraulic infrastructure, electrical, agricultural and of communications that exist in the low part.

RIVERS CONTROL
In the rivers, the gabion accelerates the state of balance of the channel. It avoids erosions, transport of materials and collapses of margins, in addition the fascione controls crescents protecting valleys and populations against floods .

ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS
FLEXIBILE: The once stuffed fascione with stone undergoes deformations, and even so continuous without losing efficiency in the case of appearing a fault in the ground
• PERMEABLE: The stuffed gabion, does not contain cementantes, aglutinantes nor, reason why hollows or interstices have left. It dissipates the energy of the water, diminishes the hydrostatic pushes. Allow to have adjusted lands bordering to the structures .
• RESISTENCE: It provides dominion in all the compressive stress, tension and torsion
• DURABILITY: The raw material of the gabion, this provided with a covering that manages to slow down the effects of the enviroment on the steel. By his triple torsion it is not disarmed in case of accidental or intentional rupture. Resists the corrosion
• ECONOMIC AND EASY INSTALLATION : It does not require skilled labor, use of basic tools
