Gabion

The invention relates to a gabion module (1) comprising three metal wire panels (2a, 2b) and to a gabion (3) comprising metal wire panels (2a, 2b) connected to one another to form at least one first compartment (4), provided to be filled with a filling material and comprising a textile and/or a metal gauze (6), fastened to the wire panels (2a, 2b) and extending at least partly on the outer circumference of the gabion (3), in such a way as to form second compartments (5), provided to be filled with a filling material, which are delimited by on the one hand the textile and/or metal gauze (6) and on the other hand wire panels (2a, 2b). A gabion module (1) and a gabion (3) of this type allow a gabion (3) which can be erected more easily to be provided over the same area, requiring less metal without forgoing sturdiness.
