     GabionsHigh resistance woven wire container, of different sizes and forms, that is filled with stone on site, to form a monolithic, permeable, and flexible structure, as is the case of: retaining walls, covering of channels in projects for erosion control, spikes, dams, etc.The constructive system based on Gabions, is an excellent option for erosions control, as much as aeolian and water. When the Gabions working gravity walls are built, that is to say, by its own weight and form, the wall is capable of containing or bear the pressure, besides a very different structure is obtained compared to the typical concrete wall working with gravity, since it has other advantages that places it far above in this type of solutions.
The Gabions are high resistance woven wire containers. Each piece is filled with stone and connected a with another to form a structure of monolithic retention that works with gravity. The Gabions can easily be configured in an infinity number of ways, to be adapted to unique constructive projects.
The soils are materials for engineering. Due to the increasing demand of available land for development, construction finds problematic soils. All the soils, cohesive and granular, have low resistance to tension. Therefore, under load action, the soils are prone to movement and potential failures. Instead of replacing these soils with more expensive materials, it is possible to reinforce them with products that increase its load capacity of the soil.
The soil erosion occurs when the forces applied to the surface by water, wind or ice (or another external influence) surpass the land resistance. Bioengineering is the scientific-technical discipline that utilizes the biotechnical properties of some vegetable species. Construction of green walls for stabilization of slopes or contention and in general structures that combine with the natural environment of the zone and generate the smaller impacts to the environment.
Terramesh ® System The Terramesh ® System It is utilized for the construction of retaining walls with greater heights than 7.00 m (23 ft), that is when the Gabions stop being convenient, with the advantage that a totally vertical wall can be achieved or in steps. Also it can be utilized when the slope in the endorsement of the wall should be reconstructed and/or conformed by an embankment. This system has two variations: the Terramesh ® System ,in wich its wall is constituted by Gabions and the Green Terramesh ® System, in which its wall is formed simply by the triple torsion wire fabric and a Geotextile, that promotes the quick growth of vegetation on the slope. This new Constructive System is a combination of the traditional Gabions, based on the theory of retaining Walls.
Reno ® Maths They are rectangular units of steel wire netting filled with stone that form permeable and flexible elements to build a great range of structures, such as rivieras of rivers, coastal protection for rivers and beaches, channelings, etc .
Triple Torsion Wire Fabric The covering executed in these networks eliminates the danger of an unexpected and notable fall of rocks, possesses a high degree of mechanical resistance: Netting type 8x10 has a break load of 880.78 Lb/ft2
