Gabion walls are made of galvanized wire mesh baskets filled with rock or natural stone. These free-draining structures prevent landslides caused by soil erosion but can deteriorate over time due to:
Poor base-to-height ratio
Age and weathering
Infiltration of fine silts and clay
Deterioration of the rock fill
When failure occurs, repairing is often more cost-effective and less disruptive than full replacement, saving time, money, and environmental impact.
Cost Savings – Repairs cost up to 70% less than replacement
Faster Completion – Weeks instead of months
Lower Environmental Impact – Minimal disturbance to surroundings
Extended Service Life – Up to 75 additional years
Restored Appearance – Repairs can match the original wall surface
When the facing is still intact, we use soil nailing to stabilize and reinforce the wall. Using our Soil Nail Launcher™, we fire 20-foot steel or fiberglass nails into the slope at 250 mph, providing a faster, more economical alternative to traditional soil nailing or concrete gravity walls.
If erosion or crumbling has damaged the wall face, we combine soil nailing with other stabilization methods and carefully restack salvaged stone.
Whether building or repairing gabion walls, GeoStabilization International delivers cost-effective, time-efficient solutions with minimal environmental disturbance. In addition to gabion wall repair, we specialize in emergency landslide response, rockfall mitigation, bridge abutment stabilization, compaction grouting, and more.
