Gabion

Abstract

A gabion for withstanding mechanical impact in which at least one corrugated sheet is configured to form a complete hollow enclosure, which is constructed without the need for stanchions. At least one joiner strip joins together two vertical flanks of a corrugated sheet. Typically, one of the corrugated sheets is made of construction material.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A gabion for withstanding mechanical impact comprising:
 at least one corrugated sheet configured to form a hollow enclosure;   at least one joiner strip for joining together two vertical flanks of the at least one corrugated sheet,   wherein the gabion is configured to be constructible without the need for a stanchion.   
     
     
         2 . The gabion of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one corrugated sheet is foldable to produce an enclosure having a circular lumen. 
     
     
         3 . The gabion of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one corrugated sheet is foldable and/or arrange-able to produce a rectangular hollow enclosure. 
     
     
         4 . The gabion of  claim 1 , further comprising a bottom plate from which the at least one corrugated walls extend. 
     
     
         5 . The gabion of  claim 1 , wherein there are at least two corrugated walls and the corrugations are not similarly oriented whereby at least one of the walls has vertically oriented corrugations and at least one of the walls has horizontally oriented corrugations. 
     
     
         6 . The gabion of  claim 1 , assembled in a two-lobed formation, attached one to the other by the joiner strips at adjacent flanks of two different corrugated sheets of the two-lobed formation.
