Project Riverside Reinforce Galvanized Gabion Wire Mesh For Flood Prevent
Gabion Wire Mesh Introduction:
Gabion Box are multiple twisted hexagonally woven galvanized or PVC coated steel wire mesh. Compartmented baskets with a rectangular box shape. Filling 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.

Features of Gabions
- Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabions and seal it.
- Simple installation. No special technology needed.
- Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.
- No collapse even under big scope of deforming.
- Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
- Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
- Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
Gabions, Structure
- The mesh fabric is formed by weaving adjacent strands of wire by twisting them through one and a half turns at intervals, forming a hexagonal shaped mesh. The ends of the mesh wires are wrapped around a heavier transverse edge wire to form the panels. The tensile strength of the mesh in the direction of the weave is greater than across the weave.
- The gabion box is manufactured from a main panel that forms the face, base, rear and lid of the unit. The side panels and diaphragms are then jointed to the base section of the main panel. The unit is then folded flat for transportation.
- On site, the unit can be opened out into the required position and the sides, diaphragm and end panels are rotated vertically. The vertical joints are formed by a continuous lacing operation with the wire supplied or with 'C' rings to form the box shape. Once assembled the gabions are filled with stone or rock and the lid secured to form a monolithic structure.
