The problem

The bridge had no damage yet. The intervention was preventive: protecting abutments and slope toes before the river scoured them.

The solution

Stone-filled hexagonal mesh gabions, flexible and permeable, at abutments and slope toes.

The result

Six thousand eight hundred square metres of protection that avoid a far more expensive repair later.
