Here are some considerations when designing a project with Gabions:

. Determine the velocity of the water and the grade of the slope to choose the right products.

. Decide if a geotextile fabric should be installed to prevent fine particles from escaping behind the Gabions.

. Choose individual Gabion Baskets, Gabion Mattresses, or composite systems.

. See what equipment will be needed for installation and check to see if the available access will be sufficient.

. Find a supplier for the fill needed, whether it will be rock or a rock/soil mixture. Rock can be chosen to match other design features of the project.

. If needed, design a protection for the toe of the structure that will be placed below the scour level.

. Prepare the foundation of a gabion wall with care. You may need to add rock or sand to provide a firm base.

. Decide what vegetation, if any, will be used.
