Gabions and reno mattresses
Gabions are massive three-dimensional structures made of double-torsion metal wire with hexagonal cells. The wire is zinc-coated and can have an extra polymer coating. Shape: parallelepiped, cylinder. The aggregate stone can be rolled (river stone) or ragged (quarry or crushed stone), with a size slightly larger than that of a grid cell.
Undecayable structure, resistant to acids and alkalis. At least 25 years of service life.
