Gabion

摘要

The present invention relates to a gabion comprising opposed first and second side walls connected together at spaced intervals along the length of the gabion by a plurality of partition walls, the first and second side walls comprising open framework panels, and wherein the first side wall is lined with a first lining material comprising a layer of a sheet material, the sheet material having a relatively low water permeability compared with an unlined open framework panel, and further wherein the second side wall is lined with a second lining material having a higher water permeability than the first lining material. The present invention also relates to a multi-compartmental gabion having similar features. The present invention also relates to a water containment system comprising a gabion or multi-compartmental gabion according to the invention. The present invention also relates to a method of deploying a water containment system.

1. A gabion comprising opposed first and second side walls connected by partition walls, the first and second side walls comprising open framework panels,
wherein the space between adjacent partition walls define, together with the first and second side walls, an individual compartment of the gabion, wherein the first side wall is lined with a first lining material extending over an entire side of the first side wall, the first lining material having a relatively low water permeability compared with an unlined open framework panel, and wherein the second side wall is lined with a second lining material extending over an entire inner side of the second side wall, the second lining material having a higher water permeability than the first lining material.
