They were founded in 2005 and operate internationally with both import and export business lines exportadores.cesce.es+10empresite.eleconomista.es+10guide.in.ua+10. Company Scale: The company employs approximately 10–49 people and reported annual revenues in the range of €0.6 to 1.5 million in 2023 infoempresa.com. Project Background: L. Gutiérrez de Mata S.L. engaged our company to supply high-quality gabion mesh systems for a riverbank stabilization project in northern Spain. The goal was to reinforce embankments along a flood-prone river, enhancing structural stability and ecological integration. 2. Customer Needs and Challenges Project Challenges: The riverbanks were subject to seasonal floods and high water currents that threatened embankment integrity. The local soil was prone to erosion, and existing concrete and metal solutions lacked flexibility and ecological benefit. Customer Requirements: The client required a corrosion-resistant, flexible solution capable of reinforcing the embankment structurally while promoting vegetation growth and supporting ecological restoration. 3. Our Solution Customized Gabion Mesh System: We supplied gabion mesh panels made from galvanized steel wire with optional protective coatings (e.g. PVC), tailored to local environmental conditions. These meshes provided excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility to adapt to riverbank contours. Eco-Friendly Integration: The mesh structure allowed for sediment accumulation and plant root penetration, helping to stabilize soil over time. This led to a living green barrier that combined physical protection with ecological restoration. 4. Project Implementation Coordination & Delivery: Working closely with the engineering team of L. Gutiérrez de Mata, we coordinated site surveys and custom mesh design. Delivery logistics were handled carefully to ensure on-time arrival and smooth installation. Technical Support & Training: Our engineers provided on-site installation guidance and trained the client’s team on installation techniques and maintenance protocols. We also supplied maintenance guides to ensure long-term system performance. 5. Results and Impact Outcomes: The gabion mesh significantly improved embankment resilience, reducing soil erosion and protecting the riverbank against flood damage. Vegetation established within the gabion structure, further stabilizing the slope and enhancing the local ecosystem. Client Feedback: “The customized gabion solution exceeded our expectations—it provided structural reinforcement and ecological benefits. The product's durability and adaptability proved ideal for our needs.” — Project Manager, L. Gutiérrez de Mata S.L. 6. Conclusion and Future Collaboration Long-Term Partnership: L. Gutiérrez de Mata S.L. expressed strong satisfaction with our gabion systems, indicating plans to use our solutions in future flood defense and soil conservation projects. Looking Ahead: As environmental infrastructure projects continue to expand in Spain and the EU, we anticipate further collaborations with L. Gutiérrez de Mata. Our shared experience provides a solid foundation for future joint efforts in sustainable embankment engineering.

1. Customer Background Company Overview: Tropicados is a leading environmental engineering company based in Morocco, specializing in water management, land reclamation, and ecological protection projects. The company has significant experience in Morocco and across North Africa, particularly in combating desertification, land restoration, and soil erosion. Tropicados is committed to providing sustainable solutions to local governments and private enterprises to promote environmental protection and ecological development in the region. Project Background: In some areas of Morocco, particularly near desert regions, soil erosion and desertification have become significant challenges. This includes the instability of river embankments and water infrastructure due to sandstorms and seasonal flooding. Tropicados was tasked with strengthening an embankment along a river in eastern Morocco while also promoting ecological restoration in the area. 2. Customer Needs and Challenges Project Challenges: The extreme climate in parts of Morocco, with intense heat and drought in the summer and heavy rainfall in the winter, has exacerbated soil erosion and the degradation of embankments. Traditional methods of embankment protection failed to prevent erosion caused by water flow and sandstorms, leading to frequent failures in the embankment structure. Tropicados needed a solution that could both stabilize the embankment and restore the local ecosystem. Customer Needs: Tropicados required a solution that could not only protect the embankment but also withstand extreme weather conditions, promote vegetation growth, reduce desertification, and improve soil conservation in the long term. 3. Our Solution Customized Gabion Mesh System: To meet the customer’s needs, we provided a tailored gabion mesh solution. The gabions were made of high-strength galvanized steel wire with a PVC coating, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion from the harsh climate and sandstorms of Morocco. The open structure of the gabion mesh allowed for proper drainage, sediment retention, and vegetation growth, effectively preventing water flow erosion and providing long-term embankment stability. Ecological Restoration Design: We designed the gabion mesh system to facilitate plant growth, helping to restore soil structure and ecological function. The system also supported the planting of local vegetation to stabilize the soil and prevent further desertification. This ecological restoration approach not only reinforced the embankment but also contributed to the region’s overall environmental sustainability. 4. Project Implementation Project Execution: Before project initiation, we worked closely with Tropicados’ engineering team to conduct site assessments and analyze the local soil, climate, and water flow conditions. Based on these findings, we developed a customized gabion mesh system suitable for the specific conditions of the embankment. The installation process proceeded smoothly and was completed within the agreed timeline. Technical Support and Training: To ensure the successful installation and long-term maintenance of the gabion mesh system, we provided on-site technical support and training to the local installation team. Additionally, we provided maintenance manuals and suggested inspection schedules to ensure the system's ongoing effectiveness. 5. Results and Impact Project Outcomes: The gabion mesh system significantly improved the embankment's stability, reducing the risk of erosion caused by both water flow and sandstorms. As vegetation began to grow within the gabions, the soil structure was restored, and desertification was effectively curbed. The system demonstrated excellent performance during the rainy season, greatly enhancing the safety of local communities during extreme weather events. Customer Feedback: “'We are extremely satisfied with the gabion mesh solution provided by your company. Not only has it reinforced the embankment, but it has also helped restore the surrounding ecosystem. The durability and environmental benefits of the system are exactly what we were looking for, and the project’s success has provided us with long-term environmental benefits.' — Project Manager, Tropicados" 6. Conclusion and Future Collaboration Long-Term Partnership: Tropicados expressed great satisfaction with our gabion mesh solution and has plans to use this solution in future water and soil conservation projects. They have stated that the gabion system's performance and eco-friendly features make it an ideal choice for ongoing infrastructure projects. Looking Ahead: As the demand for environmental protection and soil conservation increases across Morocco and North Africa, we look forward to continuing our collaboration with Tropicados. Together, we aim to support sustainable development and protect the region’s natural resources for future generations.
