United Gabion Mattress
United Gabion Mattress
UNITED GABION MATTRESS, is a double-twisted hexagonal woven wire mesh unit with a relatively small thickness compared to its width and length. It is divided into multiple cells by internal diaphragms and filled with stones to form a flexible, permeable, and durable erosion control system.
Gabion mattresses are specifically designed to protect riverbanks, channels, slopes, shorelines, and other areas exposed to water flow and erosion. Their low-profile structure allows them to conform closely to the ground surface while providing long-term protection against scour and hydraulic forces.
Applications
UNITED Gabion mattresses are widely used in:- Riverbank protection
- Channel lining
- Drainage channels
- Stream and creek stabilization
- Shoreline and coastal protection
- Culvert outlet protection
- Scour protection around bridges and structures
- Dam and spillway protection
- Slope erosion control
- Stormwater management systems
Technical Features & Benefits
01
Engineered to Face Moving Water
Designed specifically for high-velocity water channels and flood mitigation. The stone matrix slows down water energy, absorbing the impact and preventing soil erosion underneath.
02
Highly Flexible Ground Adaptation
Unlike rigid concrete slabs that crack and lift under water pressure, our double-twisted wire mesh flexes naturally. It adjusts flawlessly to riverbed shifts and ground settling without breaking.
03
Premium Corrosion Defense
Available with heavy Zinc-Galvanizing and protected by premium PVC-coating. The premium PVC shield protects the inner wire from harsh underwater environments, mud abrasion, and acidic soil.
04
Approved for Public Infrastructure
Manufactured in total compliance with SIRIM quality standards and fully endorsed by JKR (Jabatan Kerja Raya) and JPS (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran) for federal and state infrastructure project submissions.
