Sack Gabion for Emergency Revetment, Cofferdams, and Irregular Ground

Sack gabions are cylindrical or bag-shaped mesh units that can be filled quickly and placed on uneven, wet, or hard-to-access sites. Their flexible form makes them useful for emergency bank repair, toe protection, and temporary water control.

They can be supplied with suitable mesh, coating, tie wire, and lifting arrangement for flood response, cofferdam reinforcement, channel repair, and underwater placement where rigid boxes are difficult to install.

Product Advantages
  • Sack structure: Designed around sack structure to match key engineering needs more directly.
  • Ecological permeability: Stone-filled or open mesh structure supports drainage, pressure release, and ecological recovery.
  • Flexible installation: Can be assembled and connected on site according to terrain, bank line, or design requirements.
  • Custom specifications: Size, material, surface treatment, and accessories can be adjusted by drawings or project requirements.
  • Easy maintenance: Clear structure supports later inspection, local replacement, and routine maintenance.
Structure

Sack Gabion is made from flexible woven mesh formed into a bag or cylindrical unit with tied or closed ends. After stone filling, it becomes a deformable protection body for emergency works, cofferdams, toe reinforcement, and irregular terrain protection.

Working Principle

Sack Gabion works by quickly enclosing stone inside a flexible bag-shaped mesh unit. The filled unit can deform to fit irregular ground and hydraulic pressure, making it useful for emergency works. When stacked or placed side by side, the sacks create cofferdams, toe ballast, or scour protection layers.
