Sustainable Welded Gabion Wire to build Smarter Infrastructure

Welded gabions offer a circular approach to retaining walls, noise barriers and slope protection. Combined with our Bezinal® welded gabion wire, they support the use of local materials, a long service life, and improved environmental performance.

Third-party verified life cycle assessment results show that total life-cycle CO₂ emissions can be reduced by up to 55% compared with conventional concrete wall solutions.

Sustainability extends beyond the wire itself. As a supplier of high-performance Bezinal® welded gabion wire, we work closely with manufacturers and industry partners to support durable gabion designs, the use of locally sourced materials and circular construction practices. Together, we help create welded gabion solutions that combine long-term performance with improved environmental outcomes.

Accelerating your sustainability ambitions

Choosing a Bekaert product from the inhera® range of selected sustainable solutions, like Bezinal® welded gabion wire, helps you and your customers achieve sustainability goals faster.

  • By consciously selecting raw materials with a low carbon footprint, our product's overall CO₂ emissions are reduced by over 44%. This can increase by up to 55% when our wires are produced from low-carbon-footprint raw materials.
  • Additionally, choosing Bezinal® welded gabion wire for your gabion structures requires significantly less transport, is faster to install, and delivers a service life of more than 50 years thanks to its robust Bezinal® coating.

Why welded gabions are a circular alternative to concrete walls

Welded gabions combine durable steel wire with locally sourced stone to create retaining walls, noise barriers and slope protection systems. Their design supports circular construction because all components can be recovered, reused or recycled at end of life. Their permeable structure also allows rainwater and groundwater to flow through naturally, reducing hydrostatic pressure and supporting long-term structural stability.

Built for Long-Term Infrastructure Performance

Welded gabions combine installation efficiency, structural performance and long-term durability. Their modular design enables faster installation than conventional concrete structures, while the durability of Bezinal® welded gabion wire supports a service life of up to 100 years with minimal maintenance requirements. The result is a durable infrastructure solution that delivers long-term value across a wide range of applications.

  • Fast installation: Modular construction helps accelerate project delivery
  • Long service life: Designed to perform in demanding environments
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Recyclable components: Fully dismantlable and recyclable
  • Minimal resource strain:
    Uses raw material/natural resources from the immediate environment
  • Lower CO₂ footprint: A more durable alternative to concrete walls
