Gabions are wire mesh baskets compactly filled with stones, rocks and other hard materials, properly wired together for construction of erosion control structures, and to stabilize steep slopes and prevent erosion. Along with it, gabions are also used as decorative structures in landscaping, building etc. GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES. Arkada Group offers the following Geotechnical Services.. Reinforced Earth Walls.
