Heavy hot dip Galvanized Hydraulic Works use Metal Gabion Baskets
People started using simple metal wire mesh baskets as solutions to
problems of erosion protection in river works and earth retaining
structures in the late 19th Century. In the 20th Century, with
steel wire coating and manufacturing techniques having greater
development, more and more metal gabion baskets were used in earth
protection and earth retaining structures around the world.
