Alignment landscape (slope) portion of

The task: maximum slope portion align.

Progress of works: According to performed measurements elevation Customer site ranged from 1.30 to 1.80 m, and in two planes. Pictured below in length portion is visually evident:

To exclude the possibility of "sliding" of imported topsoil, as well as save money on arrangement of tape around the perimeter of the site in the lower right corner was installed concrete retaining wall:

After the construction of the retaining wall and the installation of the fence, the case fell into the alignment area. Make it could or we bring the land that would entail significant costs or installing retaining walls and filling the distance between the surplus of local soil remaining after excavation and the subsequent formation of fertile layer. Calculations have shown that the installation of gabion structures is economically more advantageous than the arrangement of the monolithic concrete retaining walls. In this regard, the choice was stopped on the arrangement of retaining walls made of box gabions (for reference: a box gabion mesh is a woven structure, fills the decorative or natural stones. Schematically, the design of box gabion is shown in the photo below):

Several interconnected filled gabions form a retaining wall no worse, and in some aspects better than concrete. After the measurements, taking into account the standard height of gabion, it was determined that the retaining walls need two, which was successfully implemented:

In addition, to raise the height of the first wall of gabions become necessary ladder arrangement:

As a result of the installation of retaining walls made of gabion structures, local bedding soil and topsoil layer formation and seeding turf grass, turned following:

More detailed information on progress of the works can be found in our photo gallery. Total time alignment tapering portion through the installation box gabions was 1 month.
