Maccaferri Africa /African Gabions was asked to propose a structure that would retain the affected road embankment. The proposed structure was a combination of a gabion Mass Gravity wall, to a height of 6,5m, and a Terramesh™ System to a height of 2m. The total height of the structure was 8,5m, spanning a length of 52 linear metres with a foundation of 2,5m including a gabion key, which was sufficiently anchored into the river bed. A geotextile was used at all mesh/soil interfaces to act as a separation layer.
