READING NOTES
Work from the designed section
Begin with the approved wall or bank protection profile. List the gabion length, width and height at each course or zone. A commonly stocked basket size may simplify purchasing, but substitutions still need to fit the project's geometry and engineering requirements.
Include internal divisions
Show diaphragm positions and how adjoining units connect. Ask the supplier to distinguish overall basket dimensions from internal compartment dimensions. This distinction helps the site team plan assembly and filling without interpreting an unlabelled product sketch.

Confirm the parameters against the project
Start with the application, then carry the required checks into the enquiry.Swipe horizontally on mobile to view the full table| Decision area | What to assess | Confirm in the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Define the actual application | Environment, function and installation |
| Specification | Confirm product and dimensions | Material, specification, quantity and tolerance |
| Delivery | Align packing and destination | Timing, packing, drawings or photos |
Coordinate stone and delivery
Review the specified fill against the opening, compartment layout and filling method. Confirm whether baskets arrive folded or assembled and how they will be moved into position. Any handling proposal involving filled units should be reviewed by the responsible project specialists.
Check awkward locations first
Corners, short closing sections and changes in elevation often reveal dimensional conflicts before the straight runs do. Resolve those positions on the schedule, then total the repeated units. Keep the approved dimensions and quantities under a revision reference so later adjustments do not create incompatible baskets or an unexpected change in stone requirements.
