Gabions wire mesh welded into the form of boxes or cages, square hole or hexagonal hole structure, Galfan, zinc coating, electro galvanized and green plastic coated. For seashore fencing, rockfall protection and flood control.

Gabion boxes are made of wire mesh panels square hole or hexagonal hole welded into a three dimensional steel structure, with spacing to hold stones. Schanskorven gabions with different hole shapes shows various properties and structures. The square hole mesh gabions are normally Welded Gabions with a rigid shape. The hexagonal opening mesh gabions are made of double twist wire mesh ensuring the integrity, strength and uniformity of load distribution and prevents unwinding in case of rupture of the grid. According to surface treatment,Schanskorven supplies four types of gabion boxes, galvanized mesh gabions, hot dipped galvanized wire gabions, Galfan gabions or PVC coated gabion boxes. Galfan coated gabions wire boxes are becoming more popular compared with zinc coating in recent years. This is a new finish type for gabions using 5% aluminum mixed alloy steel wire coating to strengthen the properties.

The designs (illustrations below) are divided into sections by means of diaphragms mounted inside the gabions every meter in length. To reduce the cost for installation of gabion structures using gabions box-large size - the so-called gabions Jumbo. They have a length from 3 to 6 meters at a height of 0.5 m. Standard wire diameter - 2.7 mm, the diameter of the wire edges (to enhance the framework gabion) - 3.4 mm. Cell depending on the purpose of gabion size 8x10 cm and 6x8 cm size gabion may be arbitrary, but must take into account the stability of the gabion structures, which will be greater, the greater the gabions at the bottom.

gabion retaining wall systems are monolithic gravity mass structures that are ideally suited for erosion control applications and follow standard design methods for gravity and mse retaining walls.

note: the following information is provided as a guide to assist contractors and do-it-your-selfers in the proper construction of gabion retaining walls. the photos and illustrations shown on this website are examples of typical multi-course gravity retaining walls. this content is presented for general information purposes only and should not be taken as a suggested design or professional advice for building your wall. we always recommend that you contact a local professional engineer to evaluate soil for gabion wall design and based on a certified geo-technical soil report of the site location.

/ Gabion Mattress made from a hexagonal double twisted wire mesh with a mesh type 6x8. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm.

Advantage:
1. Economy:gabions' structures are very simple,just fill the stone into the gabions then close the gabion ,the structure will be quickly finished,low maintenance required .
2. Durable:galvanized wire ,it could resist the natural destroy and corrosion etc,so the life time is longer.
3. Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
4. Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
5. Easily construct, no special technology needed.
6. Strong capacity of withstand nature destroy, rust-resistance and atrocious weather resistance
7. Affording Large scale distortion, but never be defeated.
8. Excellent Penetrability, which can prevent from the whist by liquid.
9. Saving the transport costs. Which can fold while loading and transport, then assemble

STANDARD PARAMETERS OF / GABION MATTRESS:

Related standards for gabion

• Heavily zinc-coated steel wire conforming to ASTM A 641, Class 3 coating, soft temper;
• Zn-5Al-MM-Coated steel wire conforming to ASTM A 856/856M, Class 3, soft temper;
• The same type of metallic-coated steel wire as above, but with an additional PVC coating extruded onto the metallic-coated steel wire;

We always supply 3% lacing wire along with the material, which are used to assemble and interconnect empty units, to close and secure stone-filled units, and for internal stiffeners.
