Erosion control using Gabion basket and Reno mattress at Federal polytechnic, Orogun Delta State, Nigeria.
Effective erosion control with gabion baskets and Reno mattresses relies on proper installation and material selection.
Gabion baskets, made of wire mesh filled with stones, provide structural stability and prevent soil erosion on slopes and riverbanks.
Reno mattresses, on the other hand are much thinner and wider and they help control surface erosion and protect water channels.
Both systems allow water drainage while holding soil in place and reducing the impact of flowing water
Proper anchoring and integration with vegetation is a key to enhance long-term stability and environmental sustainability.
