Gabions
Our Legacy in every twist
Born at the inception of our company, the Maccaferri Gabion is more than a product—it's a cornerstone of innovation. These Double-Twisted "DT" wire mesh containers transform into flexible, permeable structures like gravity walls, retaining walls and revetments, pivotal for modern geotechnical and erosion control projects.
PoliMac Coating: Engineering Resilience
Infused with our groundbreaking PoliMac® coating, our gabions defy the harshest elements. This coating enhances their durability against abrasion, chemicals, cold, and UV rays, ensuring they withstand time and nature alike. Also available is Bio PoliMac®, made from bio-naphtha derived from sustainable raw materials and originated from biobased feedstock , further emphasizing our commitment to environmental sustainability.
Optimizing with Maccaferri GAWAC 3.0
The future of structural integrity is here with our GAWAC 3.0 software. It uses the GSC concept to predict a century-spanning lifespan, marrying cost-effectiveness with robust environmental stewardship.
Sustainable Engineering
By integrating PoliMac with the GSC concept, we’re setting new standards in sustainability—reducing material use, slashing CO2 emissions by 40%, and fostering an environment where nature thrives alongside human ingenuity. Visit maccaferri.com/EPD to see how we're pioneering products that respect both the planet and our future. Embrace a design philosophy that's as economically savvy as it is environmentally sound.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
The strategic use of gabions results in a lower total cost of ownership by:
Reducing the amount of stone required, thus saving costs
Offering outstanding performance with PoliMac® coating, which minimizes maintenance needs
Facilitating faster and easier installation due to material reduction, thereby increasing production rates
Prioritizing the environment by cutting down on quarry stone extraction
Seamless Integration with BIM
Efficiency meets accuracy with our BIM-ready products, ensuring seamless integration into any project, enhancing collaboration, and cutting both costs and time significantly.

GABION RIVER PROTECTION - RIVER DRIN
The River Drin, located in the western Albania, is an essential waterway that plays a crucial role in the region’s ecology, economy, and hydrology. To address the growing challenges of erosion, flooding, and habitat degradation, a river protection structure using gabions has been implemented along its banks. Gabions, wire mesh cages filled with stones, provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for stabilizing riverbanks, reducing erosion, and protecting surrounding infrastructure. This approach not only enhances the river’s resilience to environmental changes but also promotes the preservation of its natural beauty and ecological balance.

PERILAGO PATH – RECONSTRUCTION OF ROUTE 82
For the construction of the Potrerillos dam in the province of Mendoza. The dam was built between 1999 and 2003 by a consortium consisting of Industrias Metalúrgicas Pescarmona (IMPSA) to provide flood control, hydroelectricity and irrigation water. The main problem was that in order to build the dam it was necessary to interrupt route 82. This route connected the cities of the region, like Potrerillos and Cacheuta. Once the construction of the dam was finished, work began on the reconstruction of route 82 in order to restore the connection between Potrerillos and Cacheuta. The trace of route 82 was also redesigned to generate a tourist path in the perimeter of the lake (reservoir).
