[CHP DISPATCH] MOUNTAIN HOME VILLAGE - REPORTED FIRE HIGHWAY 38 / THURMAN FLATS PICNIC AREA

On fhe repair at hwy 38 at Foresee Ck. The pic of the wall that looks like it has steps. Its a gabion wall.

i had to look up gabion wall.

From google

A gabion wall is a retaining structure made from wire mesh baskets (cages) filled with rocks, concrete, or other materials, creating a strong, permeable, and flexible barrier used for erosion control, landscaping, and military defense.

These walls allow water to drain freely, preventing hydrostatic pressure, and can move with the earth, unlike rigid concrete, making them durable for freeze-thaw cycles. They are popular in landscape design for their natural look but can also be bulky and host vegetation.

From one of the workers.

The ones here, used on the 38, are 18”x18” tiers with 3’ of geogrid and filter fabric into the slope at each step. These cages here are filled with rock.
