We are excited to share more insights into our recent collaboration with Scaw Metals. In this follow-up video, Project Manager Leon Pieterse delves into the specifics of the project, highlighting the challenges faced and the innovative solutions employed. Stay tuned for a deeper understanding of our approach and see exclusive photos from the site.
Recently, Gabion Baskets collaborated with Scaw Metals on a crucial road reconstruction project. The task involved stabilising a failing embankment caused by water runoff between a power line and an adjacent road. Initially measured at 50 metres in length and 4 metres in height, the project scope was adjusted to 42 metres by 3 metres after a thorough site assessment.
Over 3.5 weeks, our dedicated team of 10 to 15 labourers worked meticulously to stabilise the embankment using gabions, which allowed water to flow through while preventing erosion. This innovative approach ensured the long-term durability of the road, addressed immediate concerns, and provided a sustainable solution for future water management.
Our successful partnership with Scaw Metals highlights Gabion Baskets’ expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions for complex engineering challenges.

Sandbags are an ideal solution when it comes to soil erosion protection, and diverting floodwaters away from sensitive installations or homes.
These blankets promote vegetation growth when combined with your gabion structure and help retain the important topsoil.
