Our SEA-GUARD™ Marine Gabions offer many benefits for shoreline protection.
They are gabion solutions constructed of high strength, non-corrosive materials designed to provide a barrier against wave energy and reducing the impact of erosive forces on the shoreline. By dissipating wave energy and promoting sediment deposition, they help stabilize the coastline and protect ocean front properties.
The porous nature of SEA-GUARD™ Marine Gabions allows water to flow freely through the structure, preventing the buildup of hydrostatic forces.
Unlike rigid concrete seawalls, SEA-GUARD™ Marine Gabions can adapt to changes in shoreline contours and withstand minor ground movement. This flexibility is crucial for accommodating natural fluctuations in water levels and preserving ecological processes.
SEA-GUARD™ Marine Gabions are often used as breakwater. They are submerged or semi-submerged structures designed to break the force of incoming waves and create calmer water conditions along the shoreline. They are ideal for sheltering harbors, marinas, and navigation channels from wave-induced erosion and sediment transport.
The options listed below provide protection for long term use in salt water with price being the main difference.
1. TYPE 316L STAINLESS STEEL
This is the best but most expensive option for resistance to salt seawater
"They will last a lifetime in salt water"
2. HYBRID Stainless Steel w GEO-GRID LINING - Lasts a lifetime in salt water
3. UV STABILIZED BX3030 GEO-GRID - Lasts a lifetime in salt water
4. GALFAN COATED STEEL - Lasts 60+ years in salt water
5. PVC COATED GALVANIZED STEEL - Lasts 40+ years in salt water
6. HESCO STORM AND FLOOD BARRIERS
