To achieve these goals, Caltrans will be constructing slope protection using gabion baskets encased in polyethylene coast wire mesh and concrete. Each gabion basket will be 3-foot by 3-foot, filled with rock, and concrete poured over the top of the gabion baskets. Geotextile fabric will be wrapped around buried portions of the baskets.
