1. Slope Protection & Erosion Control 

Slope Stabilization: Reinforcing soil on embankments/hillsides.

• (e.g., Gabion baskets are used for slope stabilization along highways.)

• Erosion Control: Preventing soil washout from water/wind.
  (e.g.: Reno mattresses protect riverbanks from erosion.)

• Revetments: Armored facing on slopes/embankments.
  (e.g.: Gabion revetments defend coastal areas against wave action.)

2. Retaining Structures 

• Gabion Retaining Walls: Gravity walls for earth retention.
  (e.g.: Terraced gabion walls provide structural support in landscaping.)

3. Hydraulic Engineering 

• Channel Lining: Protecting canals/drainage ditches.
  (e.g.: Gabions line irrigation channels to prevent scouring.)

• Check Dams/Sills: Small barriers reducing water flow velocity.
  (e.g.: Gabion check dams control sedimentation in streams.)

• Weirs & Spillways: Water flow management structures.

• Bridge Abutment Protection: Shielding bridge supports.

4. Coastal & Marine Applications

• Seawalls & Breakwaters: Wave energy dissipation.
  (e.g.: Gabion breakwaters reduce coastal erosion.)

• Groynes: Perpendicular structures trapping sediment.

5. Infrastructure Protection 

• Culvert Outlet Protection: Preventing scour at drainage outlets.

• Pipeline Stabilization: Securing underwater/subsea pipelines.

6. Landscaping & Architecture 

• Decorative Walls/Fences: Aesthetic functional structures.

• Noise Barriers: Highway/industrial sound attenuation.

7. Specialized Applications 

• Foundations: Ground stabilization on soft soils.

• Gravity Structures: Dams, toe walls, etc.
