Gabion Basket Fence: Sustainable Solutions for Modern Landscaping
Urban planners in Rotterdam transformed a flood-prone riverbank using JOESCO gabion basket fences, achieving 94% erosion reduction while creating public art spaces. This exemplifies how industrial-grade engineering serves civilian needs.
Why Civil Projects Choose Gabion Systems
Multi-Functional Design for Modern Needs
JOESCO’s hot-dip galvanized baskets (ISO 1461 certified) deliver:
✓ Erosion Control – Withstands 3.5m/s water flow (FHWA hydraulic testing)
✓ Noise Reduction – 12dB sound attenuation (tested per ISO 362-3)
✓ Eco-Friendly – 100% recyclable materials with native plant integration
✓ Aesthetic Flexibility – Custom stone/color combinations
