A sack gabion is a cylinder of double twisted hexagonal mesh, closed along its length with lacing wire once filled with stone. It is filled on land or on a barge and then lifted or rolled into position.
That makes it the unit of choice for emergency breach closure, underwater foundations and scour holes, and sites where water never drops low enough to build boxes in the dry.

Every gabion application, and which of our units each one needs, is explained on one page.
Woven from hexagonal double twisted mesh to IS 16014:2024 — the same material in every unit we make, in the mesh type and wire gauge your drawing calls for.
See sack gabion sizes and weight for empty weights in GI and PVC and the stone to fill each size.
When the work has to happen fast or underwater. Sacks are filled and laced on the bank, then placed by excavator or crane — including below water, where assembling and filling a box is impractical. They are the usual answer for emergency breach closing and scour holes.
Commonly 1.5 m × 0.74 m and 2 m × 0.96 m diameter, in GI or PVC coated wire. Other sizes are made to order.
Yes — that is one of their main uses. The cylindrical shape and end lacing let a filled sack be lifted and lowered into position without losing stone, so the works can carry on without dewatering.
