At Corden Perimeter Systems we supply durable gabion mattresses designed for erosion control, riverbank protection, and civil engineering projects across the UK.
Gabion mattresses are low-profile wire mesh box units where the plan area is significantly larger than the height. Each mattress is divided into compartments, typically forming cells of 2m × 1m, which provide structural stability once filled with stone.
These units are commonly used in water management and infrastructure projects to protect surfaces from erosion and scour.
Features
Our gabion mattresses are designed to provide reliable erosion protection and long-term durability.
Key features include:
- Low-profile gabion units for surface stabilisation
- Internal compartments for improved structural stability
- Standard plan sizes of 3m × 2m and 2m × 2m
- Available depths of 0.17m and 0.3m
- Galfan coated steel wire with optional PVC coating for corrosion resistance
Once filled with stone and closed, gabion mattresses form strong, continuous protective blankets that stabilise surfaces and prevent erosion.
Typical applications
Gabion mattresses are widely used for projects where surface protection and erosion control are required.
Common applications include:
- Riverbed and channel protection
- Erosion control along riverbanks
- Slope stabilisation
- Flood defence projects
- Foundation support beneath gabion walls
They are particularly effective for watercourse protection, where they help prevent soil erosion and undercutting caused by flowing water.
