Gabion wall installation at Akademi Binaan Malaysia Wilayah Utara Sintok, Kedah / Anis Sofea Ismail

A gabion wall is a retaining wall made of stacked stone-filled gabions tied together with wire. Gabions walls are usually battered or stepped back with the slope rather than stacked vertically. The aim of this study is to explore the soil stabilization to prevent erosion. Methods of study use were observation and interviews. It was found that the methods used to construct the gabion for project 'Membina Tembok Penal1an Gabion' and material used were containers constructed of wire mesh or other material and filled with loose stones or other similar materials. The purpose of the installation of a gabion in a project is to prevent from a landslide and ground settlement in case there are rain and the stagnant water on the construction site. Gabion role is to retain the construction to its place and avoid it from any defects on the planned projects. In a nutshell, without the help of gabion in the construction process, the nearby places especially the river will be in damage because of the eroded lands.
