Double Twisted Hexagonal Steel Wire Mesh Galvanized Gabions Retaining Walls Gabion Mattreses

Products Description:
a) Gabions are defined as double twisted woven wire mesh box shaped baskets, of various sizes and dimensions.
b) The selvedges of the gabion baskets are the thicker perimeter and edge wires to which the wire mesh is secured as to withstand sudden or gradual stress from any direction.
c) Reinforcing wires are the thicker wires incorporated into the netting during fabrication.
d) The internal diaphragms are the internal wire mesh partitions which divide the gabions into cells.
e) Lacing or tie wire is used to assemble and join the gabion units.
f) Connecting wires are the internal wire used to prevent the gabions from bulging.
g) Alternative wire fasteners are ASTM approved wire fasteners used in lieu of lacing wire.

Double Twisted Hexagonal steel wire mesh Galvanized Gabions. Gabions shall be fabricated in such a manner that the sides, ends, lid and diaphragms can be assembled at the construction site into rectangular baskets of the sizes specified and shown in thedrawings.

Gabions shall be of single unit construction: the base, lid, ends, and sides shall be either woven into a single unit or edge of these members connected to the base section of the gabion in such a manner that strength an flexibility at the connecting
point does not compromise the engineered structural design of the gabion. Where the length of the gabion exceeds on an one half its horizontal width, the gabion shall be divided by diaphragms of the same mesh and gauge as the body of the gabion, into
cells whose length does not exceed the horizontal width. The gabion shall be furnished with the necessary diaphragms secured in proper position on the base in such a manner that no additional tying is required at this juncture.

Gabion Technical Parameter:

Gabion specifications:

Gabion Wire Mesh advantages:
• Strength – possess the strength and flexibility to withstand forces generated by water and earth masses.
• Permeability – Naturally free-draining, which is accomplished by gravity and by evaporation, as the porous structure permits active air circulation through it.
• Ecology – Offer an environmentally-sensitive solution to soil retention slope stabilization. Constructed of natural stone fill, the gabions are naturally porous. This allows interaction between the land and surrounding water table.
• Low Construction Cost – Easy to install, requiring limited equipment, no skilled labor, minimal foundation preparation, no drainage provisions, and low stone fill costs, generally provided by a local stone or rock supplier.

Gabion box application:

Double twisted woven wire mesh gabion baskets filled with stone and used for various applications including but not limited to retaining walls, mechanically stabilized soil retaining structures, stream bank protection, slope paving, outfall structures, weirs, drop structures, etc.
