Gabion mattress, also called or Mac mattress, is made of steel hexagonal wire mesh. Gabion mattress are filled with rocks at the construction site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structure.
es are wider, with less depth than standard gabions. es are often used as flexible foundation slabs under gabions. Or used as channel linings and revetment mats.
1. Materials: electro galvanized, hot dipped galvanized wire or PVC coated galvanized wire, Galfan coated wire ( Zinc 95% + 5% Aluminum).
2. Zinc coating: 10-300g/m2.
3. Tensile strength between 380N/mm2 -- 500N/mm2.
4. Elongation≥ 12%.
5. Mesh hole size: 60*80m, 80*100mm,80*120mm,100*120mm,120*150mm.
Gabion Usage:
Gabion mattress is used for river bank and scour protection, bridge and weir protection, channel linings and erosion control. It is also widely used for the embankment stability.
The woven gabion mattress can be used in the differential settlement applications and the welded gabion mattress can be used in the landscape constructions.
