Reinforced Gab Hexagonal Gabion Box / Stone Cage Net PVC Coated Wire River Training
Gabion Box are multiple twisted hexagonally woven galvanized or PVC coated steel wire mesh compartmented baskets with a rectangular box shape. The compartments are of equal dimension and are formed by internal diaphragms. The compartment is filled with natural stone and the diaphragms assure minimum stone migration within the basket. Thus providing even distribution of the stone even in abnormal conditions, and adding strength to the container to help retain its rectangular shape during the filling operation.
Gabion box is consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh, filled with stones. In order to reinforce the structure, its edges with a wire having a thicker diameter than the mesh wire. Gabion boxes be divided into cells by diaphragms at every 1 meters

Gabion box Function
1.Flexible: Wire mesh structure tolerates huge forces from breaking or cracking.
2.Durable: PVC coated galvanized wire mesh has very long life, better for hydraulic works.
3.Permeable: The gabion mesh structure can provide effective permeability, they are self-draining.
4.Economy: Gabion Structures are very economical compared to the conventional structures and require low maintenance.
5.Strength: The Gabion can absorb huge amount of energy and strong tension for many decades.
