Gabions
Tengeo gabions are engineered wire-mesh rock cages that form robust, flexible and permeable retaining systems. When filled with selected stone, they act as gravity masses that resist earth pressures while naturally dissipating hydrostatic buildup. Their proven reliability makes them ideal for road and rail corridors, hill-side stabilization, river training works, hydraulic structures and environmentally sensitive zones.
Gabions as Gravity Retaining Walls
TenGeo gravity gabion walls are constructed using stacked, rock-filled modular units placed on compacted granular foundations. Their free-draining structure minimizes need for elaborate drainage. The system accommodates differential settlement, seismic activity, and irregular ground profiles—offering clear advantages over rigid RCC or masonry walls.

Gabion-Faced Reinforced Soil Walls (MSE)
For taller walls or constrained footprints, TenGeo gabions integrate seamlessly with Tengeo Geostrips or Geogrids, forming high-performance reinforced soil structures. The gabion fascia provides a durable, vandal-resistant rock face, while the soil reinforcement layers create a stable composite mass capable of withstanding static and dynamic loads in demanding infrastructure applications.

Materials & Durability
TenGeo gabion baskets are manufactured using heavily galvanized wire with optional polymer (PVC/PE) coatings for extended life in aggressive, hydraulic or coastal environments. Combined with durable rock fill and geotextile separation layers, the system ensures long-term structural integrity and hydraulic performance.
