About Gabions
Gabions in Oman consist of basket or container made of wires either welded or woven together to form cuboidal shape. It is usually filled with stones, sand, or other material. This forms a rigid structure. They are stacked upon each other while transporting. A-1 Fence designs, manufactures & installs high-quality gabion solutions for various applications. Applications like Slope protection & Stabilisation, civil engineering works, river training /scour protection, earth retaining structures. Also applications like marine works, the lining of canals & dams, architectural works, fortifications, etc can be installed with gabions. A-1 Fence Gabions Systems are being supplied worldwide. These include India, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain.

Gabions are categorized in two types:
Welded Gabions: Welded Gabion is a welded wire cage or box filled with materials such as stone, concrete, sand, or soil. These are manufactured from cold drawn steel wire. Later, they are and electronically welded together. Gabions are hot dip galvanised or alu-zinc coated thereby ensuring a longer life.
Woven Gabions: Woven gabions are made of double twisted hexagonal mesh fabric. This steel mesh fabric possesses high mechanical strength, and double twist weaving of wire prevents unraveling.
