Filtrexx® Green Gabion

Filtrexx® Green Gabion is a structural vegetated armoring technology used to stabilize and prevent erosion of waterway and shoreline banks.  Filtrexx® Green Gabion combines the benefits of soft and hard armor technologies to provide maximum structural protection, erosion control, vegetation growth, and vegetation reinforcement in one system. Filtrexx® Green Gabion is specifically designed for applications where water flow and intense hydraulic pressures typically undermine vegetation growth. Filtrexx® Green Gabion combines heavy duty tubular mesh netting material, used to contain and stabilize custom growing media and vegetation placed within the gabion basket, and drip tape irrigation (optional) to ensure establishment and sustainability of seeded and live stake plantings. The weight and anchoring system is designed to withstand concentrated water flow velocities and hydraulic shear stresses similar to traditional soft armoring devices (brush mattresses, coconut fiber logs, turf reinforcement mats) and hard armoring devices (rip rap, rock gabion baskets). Recommended applications for Filtrexx® Green Gabion include:
