6 x 2 x 0.3 m Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Gabion Mattress Rock for Sea and River Defence Construction

Gabion basket, also known as gabion box and gabion net, is a new type of ecological grid structure. It has been successfully applied to water conservancy projects, highways, railway projects and dike protection projects, and has well realized the organic combination of engineering structure and ecological environment. At the same time, compared with the traditional rigid structure, it has its own advantages and has become the preferred structural form for riverbed, landslide, debris flow, rockfall protection and environmental protection worldwide.

When your gabion walls are being used as erosion control, a civil engineer experienced in flood control and erosion prevention, should be consulted. Gabions are a proven method of halting river bank erosion, for both large rivers and small streams that are prone to flooding. Any river erosion system needs to be designed to cope with the expected peak river flood volumes, as this is when most damage to river banks and their erosion protection measures occurs. Flood events are often described as 1 in 100yr floods or 1 in 50yrs floods, and any river bank protection system needs to be able to cope with these flood events.

Gabion Basket Application:

Retaining wall

Control and guide of water or flood

Flood bank or guiding bank

Preventing of rock breaking

Water and soil protection

Bridge protection

Strengthening structure of soil

Protection engineering of seaside area

Gabion Basket Characteristics:

(1) Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabion and seal it.

(2) Simple installation. No special technology needed.

(3) Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.

(4) No collapse even under big scope of deforming.

(5) Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.

(6) Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatics.

(7) Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
