In the Philippines, there is an urgent need to address the issue of land erosion due to wind and water flow which loosens soil and rock on the surface of mountains and riverbanks. Excessive erosion can cause a multitude of problems and is a safety hazard since this is one of the leading causes of landslides and rockslides, which can do damage to existing structures and property. Aside from that, soil erosion may also decrease the size of your land significantly as water and air slowly eat away parts of your land.
Eastern Wire Mfg. Inc. proposes a solution to your problems by introducing the Gabions and Mattresses System which essentially builds a barrier to support and prevent land erosion. This system is widely used all over the world and replaces the traditional Rip Rap System.
What are Gabions?
Gabions are rectangular wire boxes filled with stones used as retaining structures or surface protection against erosionand scouring. The entire gabion box is crafted out of a single continuous piece of wire mesh to ensure strength and flexibility. Only high quality and heavily galvanized, zinc-coated wires are used. PVC coating can also be added to the wires if the gabions are to be used in corrosive environments such as marine and polluted areas
