Looking for the best option for fill walls? At Panaweb Soluciones Constructivas, we introduce an innovation in retaining walls that is changing the way we build economically, ecologically, and technically: the Gabion with Tail Wall, also known as a Mechanically stabilized earth walls wall with flexible facing and natural drainage.
What Is a Gabion with Tail Wall?
This system combines a metal gabion with new technology and a back "tail" made of geosynthetics that anchor into the compacted fill.
This is no longer the old-style gabion wall that depended on weight and tons of rock. This is an improved gabion wall, lighter, stronger, and far more cost-effective.
Why Is It a New Type of Gabion Wall?
Because it’s no longer a gravity wall, it is now a mechanically stabilized earth wall.
The structure behaves like a Mechanically stabilized earth walls system with flexible facings, which reduces settlements in Mechanically stabilized earth wallsand avoids cracks often seen in rigid-faced walls.
Plus, the face of these gabion walls does not settle, as it adapts to soil movements flexibly and safely.
Natural Drainage and Corrosion Resistance
A key advantage is its phenomenal front drainage.
With galvanized or vinyl-coated mesh, the galvanized gabion wall or vinyl-coated gabion wall against corrosion allows water to drain naturally without adding pressure to the wall.
That’s why this is a gabion wall with tail that doesn’t fear water.
It’s important to understand that Mechanically stabilized earth walls naturally experience settlement, since they are made mainly of compacted granular materials.
However, when these walls have a rigid face—like precast concrete panels—visible settlement is significantly reduced, but the risk of cracking due to differential movement increases.
In contrast, the gabion with tail wall, thanks to its flexible face, adapts better to minor deformations, maintaining the structure’s performance and appearance over time.
Why Choose a Gabion with Tail?
1. It’s more affordable than old-style gabion walls.
2. Uses less stone and more compacted soil.
3. Requires less heavy machinery.
4. Eco-friendly: it uses on-site fill materials.
5. Adapts to various geotechnical conditions.
6. Avoids critical settlements due to its flexible face.
7. Long-lasting even in wet climates.
Perfect for Urban, Rural, and Environmental Projects
Whether it’s for slope protection, platform support, roads, or retaining functions, the gabion with tail wall meets modern technical standards and is ideal for tropical regions like Panama.
