Although stepped construction is a conceivable option, we prefer not to resort to it.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is a foundation required under a retaining wall?” style=”simple”]A foundation is required for any type of gabion work. It is essential to have a concrete foundation, or a foundation made of granular material (0 – \u00be or MG20).\u00a0 The thickness of the foundation will vary depending on the height of your wall and the bearing capacity of the supporting soil. In general, a granular foundation of 300 mm (12 inches) of MG20 compacted to 95 % is required for walls of 2 meters and less.\u00a0 For larger structures, a geotechnical engineer should be consulted to provide precise specifications for the type and thickness of the foundation. In all cases, it is recommended to install a geotextile membrane under the foundation.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tab][\/vc_tabs][vc_tabs style=”simple”][vc_tab title=”TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” tab_id=”1658950526276-0-7″][vc_toggle title=”What tools are needed?” style=”simple”]Our gabions don\u2019t require any particular tools – a simple pair of pliers is all that\u2019s needed to close the C-shaped metal clips that are supplied separately.
