A gabion (from Italian gabbione meaning "big cage"; from Italian gabbia and Latin cavea meaning "cage") is a cage, cylinder, or box filled with rocks, concrete, or sometimes sand and soil for use in civil engineering, road building, and military applications.
Material: Hot-dipped galvanized wire, Zn-5%-Al wire, Hot-dipped galvanized wire with PVC coated, Zn-10%-Al wire.
Weaving method: it is assembled with cover pieces; side pieces and bottom pieces are produced separately and then assembled to a basket with lacing wire or hog rings. It is common practice to choose a thicker wire to make selvedge wire, which can increase the strength of the basket.
1. The flexible structure can adapt to the change of the slope without being destroyed, and has better safety stability than the rigid structure.
2. Strong anti-scouring ability, can withstand water flow speed up to 6m / s.
3. The structure is permeable in nature, and it is highly inclusive of the natural effect and filtering effect of groundwater. Suspended matter and sludge in the water can be deposited in the rock fill joint, which is conducive to the growth of natural plants and gradually restores the original Some ecological environment.

1. Electro-galvanized. The amount of zinc applied is 10g / m2. Poor corrosion resistance
2. Hot dip galvanized. The amount of zinc can reach 300g / m2. Strong antiseptic
3. Galfan (zinc aluminum alloy). This is divided into two materials, zinc-5% aluminum-mixed rare earth alloy steel wire, zinc-10% aluminum mixed rare earth alloy steel wire. Super corrosion resistance
4. PVC coating. The thickness of the plastic coating is generally 1.0mm, for example: 3.7mm after 2.7mm. Strong antiseptic
Application:
The structure can be used for slope support, foundation pit support, mountain rock surface hanging net spraying, slope planting
(greening), railway highway isolation fence, it can also be made into box cages, net pads, used in rivers, Anti-scouring
protection for dams and sea ponds and cages for reservoirs and river closures.
