Abstracts: Gabions are rock-filled, multi-celled, PVC coated wire baskets that are used for protection works. They are used throughout the world for bed protection, bank-stabilization, retaining walls, and varied purposes. Our project aims at comparing the Gabion Wall& RCC Retaining Wall through detailed designing, estimation and their carbon-footprints i.e. their carbon emission into the atmosphere. In the end, by comparing the cost and the carbon emission rates, it is observed that the Gabion Walls are much more cost-effective and at the same time eco-friendly as compared to the RCC Retaining Wall.
