4 Years of Proven Strength
Long-Lasting Slope Protection for Cambodian Soil and Climate
In Cambodia’s tropical climate—where heavy rain, soft soil, and hillside erosion are constant challenges—gabion walls have become one of the most reliable solutions for slope protection, riverbank reinforcement, and road construction.
This article showcases a real project using gabions from Yorn Wire Steel, comparing the installation in 2021 with its current condition in 2025. The results clearly demonstrate why high-quality galvanized gabion mesh is essential for long-term performance in Cambodia.
2021: Gabion Wall Installation in Cambodia
During installation in 2021, our construction team followed standard engineering practices used across Cambodia:
- Setting up galvanized gabion baskets made from high-strength wire
- Filling each basket with local stone materials
- Reinforcing the terraces to support the natural slope
- Ensuring proper alignment and secure wire lacing
- Preparing the site for long-term erosion control
This installation process is widely used in Cambodian infrastructure projects such as:
Land development and construction
Hill and mountain road protection
Riverbank erosion control
Canal reinforcement
2025: Four Years Later – Strong Performance in Real Cambodian Conditions
The 2025 photo gives a clear proof of durability. After four rainy seasons, the gabion retaining wall remains stable, green, and structurally intact.
1. Withstands Cambodian Rainy Season
Cambodia’s monsoon rains often wash away unprotected soil. The gabion wall shows no signs of collapse or movement, demonstrating excellent erosion resistance.
2. Galvanized Wire Still Strong
The hot-dip galvanized wire mesh used by Yorn Wire Steel continues to resist rust despite constant humidity—a major advantage over cheaper, non-galvanized alternatives.
3. Natural Integration with the Landscape
Vegetation has grown around and inside the gabions, enhancing stability and blending the structure seamlessly into the environment.
4. Long-Term Savings for Cambodian Projects
Because the wall requires almost no maintenance, project owners benefit from reduced repair costs—important for roads, resorts, farms, and housing projects in rural areas.
Before and After Comparison
| Feature | 2021 Installation | 2025 After 4 Years |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Shape | Straight and newly built | Still stable with no deformation |
| Wire Condition | Fresh galvanized wire | Strong protection, minimal rust |
| Vegetation | None during installation | Fully natural and green |
| Erosion Effect | Initial soil stabilization | Completely stabilized slope |
| Maintenance | Not required yet | Still low-cost and minimal |
This comparison is a true reflection of how gabion walls perform in Cambodia’s environment when built using high-quality materials.
