Free CPD Accredited Webinar: The Evolution of South African Standards Related to Gabions

Join us for an insightful 2-hour webinar on the Evolution of South African Standards related to gabion wire and gabion baskets. An essential session for engineers, specifiers, contractors, and professionals involved in geotechnical and civil construction.

South Africa has recently adopted EN 10223 as the governing specification for hexagonal wire mesh gabions, marking a significant shift in material standards and compliance requirements. This transition brings important updates that impact the choice of the wire coating used for gabions in differing

infrastructure and environmental engineering projects. During this lecture, we will explore the full suite of related SANS specifications applicable to gabions, unpack recent changes, and highlight the practical implications for industry stakeholders. Whether you are involved in consulting, design, supply, or construction, this session will equip you with the ability to select appropriately coated gabions to achieve the required design life in accordance with standards.

Key Themes Covered

• Overview of all SANS specifications related to gabion products
• Understanding the adoption of EN 10223 and its technical implications
• What specifiers and implementers must consider under the updated standards
• Practical guidance for ensuring correct material selection and compliance

Learning Outcomes

Participants will gain the ability to correctly specify gabion mesh and wire types in accordance with SANS 22-3 to meet durability requirements for a range of site conditions and a required design life.

Join us on 8 April for a powerful learning experience.
