There are a large number of ways, one of the most popular is this fortification using retaining walls from gabions and using a geogais. Let’s take a look at each species more in more detail.
Gabion.
The composition of the gabions includes steel wire. In appearance, this is a three -dimensional rectangular design. For more durable service, steel is covered with either polymer or galvanizing. Such coatings are not afraid of corrosion.
Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages.
Gabion is very durable, stable, able to withstand multidirectional loads. It is easy to install, not so high the price when buying. Thanks to this strengthening, you can get rid of the washing of the foundation, the scree.

The geo -realt in its properties differs from the gabion. It is used where the installation of gabions is not allowed.
A geosechlet is hexagonal structures cooked among themselves plastic plates, which are a beeswide hundredths, inside of which either sand or gravel is poured.
The installation does not take a large amount of time, since its weight is not large and can be installed not by a large number of workers using special equipment.
